Can't get that with AWS though? Some kind of spinup-able VPS?

Like a normal VPS but you can get dat 64 cores + 64gb ram only the day you need them and otherwise pay a low monthly fee.

I have a Dell R720 that I bought fairly cheaply ~$600 came with 192GB of RAM. I shoved some SSDs in it with a GPU. Sits in my garage. If I'm not home I can still remote into my terminal via wireguard. Good deals can be found using lab gopher:

Granted it's not 64cores, but still fast.

I saw some VPS providers offer hourly billing, which can get me a 64cores + 64gb ram at like $30 a month. I'm going to go with that. I actually don't have landline/fiber internet at home so your solution wouldn't work for me, but I'll keep it in mind I didn't know about such deals!
