GPU Pricing Reference (approximate)
| GPU | Per GPU/hour | Best For |
|---|
| A100 40GB PCIe | ~$1.50 | Development, smaller models |
| A100 80GB PCIe | ~$2.21 | Production inference |
| H100 80GB PCIe | ~$4.76 | High-throughput inference |
| H100 SXM5 (8x) | ~$6.15/GPU | Training, multi-GPU |
| L40 | ~$1.10 | Image generation, light inference |
Cost Optimization Strategies
Scale-to-Zero for Dev/Staging
