## AutoDL

- `compute/autodl` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding none | category GPU cloud
- needs card no, phone unknown, ID yes, institution no | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-11-22
- url https://www.autodl.com/
- free tier: Retail per-hour GPU rental with no minimum term, quoted from the front-page price table: RTX 2080Ti 11GB CNY 0.88/hour, RTX A4000 16GB CNY 0.92/hour, RTX 3080Ti 12GB CNY 0.98/hour, RTX 3090 24GB CNY 1.32/hour, V100 32GB and RTX 4090 24GB CNY 1.88/hour, RTX 5090 32GB CNY 2.78/hour, A800-80GB CNY 5.59/hour, PRO 6000 96GB CNY 6.98/hour, H800-80GB CNY 9.98/hour. Every row carries a member discount of 5 percent (会员95折), and students reach the member rate through educational-email verification. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: national-id | detail: The passport route is the one a non-Chinese person can produce. The registration form itself was not read, so the phone requirement is unstated.
- interface: unknown
- limits note: Nothing throttles: billing is per second from container start to container stop with a CNY 0.01 minimum, so the constraint is money. A 24 GB RTX 4090 at CNY 1.88 an hour exhausts a CNY 100 deposit in about 53 hours, and the account stops when the balance reaches zero.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: The per-second meter composes with object storage for checkpoints: rent a 4090 for the training step, stop it, and keep the dataset on the 20 GiB free netdisk, so idle time costs nothing between runs.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The 2022 price document at /docs/latest_price/ is stale and was not used; only the live front-page table was. The personalised member price after the 5 percent discount is not published per card, so the undiscounted figure is the one recorded. A third-party guide at yangmao.ai states a CNY 10 new-user credit and a 15 percent student discount; neither appears on the vendor pages read, and the vendor page says 5 percent, so the vendor figure is the one recorded and the credit is not recorded at all. Open question: whether a non-mainland mobile number completes registration. The registration form was not read, so that is unstated rather than established. The one recorded is the better-evidenced.
