# Comparing GPU types in Azure Container Apps
1313

1414
Azure Container Apps supports serverless GPU acceleration (preview), enabling compute-intensive machine learning, and AI workloads in containerized environments. This capability allows you to use GPU hardware without managing the underlying infrastructure, following the serverless model that defines Container Apps.

| A100 | Features performance advantages for demanding workloads that require maximum computational power. The massive memory capacity (40GB or 80GB of HBM2/HBM2e) helps you work with large language models, complex computer vision applications, or scientific simulations that wouldn't fit in the T4's more limited memory.<br><br>For AI training, the A100 enables up to 2.5x faster model development compared to the T4. |
