Yeah Runpods cold start is definitely not 250ms, not even close. Maybe for some models idk but a huggingface model 8B params takes like 30 seconds to cold start in their serverless "flash" configuration.

Thanks for confirming! Our cold start, excluding model load is 2-4 seconds typically for HF models.

The only time it gets much longer when companies have done a lot with very specific CUDA implementations
