AI/GPU Cloud Compute Pricing FAQ
01 What is GPU cloud compute?
GPU cloud compute provides on-demand access to NVIDIA GPUs (H100, A100, B200) for AI/ML training and inference. Instead of buying hardware, you rent GPU instances by the hour from cloud providers specialized in AI workloads.
02 How much does GPU cloud compute cost?
GPU cloud pricing varies by GPU type and provider. NVIDIA A100 instances start around $1.99-2.79/GPU/hour. H100 instances range from $2.76-4.29/GPU/hour. Latest-gen B200 GPUs cost $4.62-6.99/GPU/hour. Reserved capacity (1-3 year commitments) can save up to 60% over on-demand rates.
03 Lambda vs CoreWeave: which is cheaper?
Lambda generally offers lower per-GPU hourly rates, especially for single-GPU instances. CoreWeave focuses on large-scale multi-GPU clusters and offers spot pricing on select GPUs. For 8x H100 clusters, Lambda charges $3.99/GPU/hr vs CoreWeave's $6.16/GPU/hr, but CoreWeave offers newer GPU options like GB200.
