|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
the 2,000 GPU-hour minimum and the quote step are the entry gate; the H100 rate is a reserved rate, not an on-demand one |
| Binding | write-gated capacity is quote-gated: a form request, a confirmation of availability, a 50% prepayment and a 2,000 GPU-hour minimum stand between a person and a running GPU |
| Identity | email The reservation form asks for a work email to send the quote to; name, company and notes are optional. After availability is confirmed 50% is prepaid at the quoted rate. What payment method the prepayment takes is unverified: behind a sign-up. |
| Egress | not stated on the pages read: no egress term was found, so nothing is asserted |
| Retention | not applicable: the unit is a reserved block of GPU-hours, not stored bytes |
| Interface | unknown capacity is requested through a web form and confirmed by a quote; no access interface to a running GPU was read |
| Tooling | a web request form; the site also publishes a pricing API and a leaderboard of GPU prices, which are price data and not a way to provision |
| Composes with | none: a quote-gated reservation cannot be chained with a free lane. |
| Reliability | blocks are stated as reserved and non-preemptible, held at a fixed rate until the block ends; the vendor page offers no interruptible capacity to new requests |
| Notes | The vendor page read on 2026-11-03 prices H100 SXM 80GB at USD 4.29/hr, H200 SXM 141GB at USD 5.19/hr and B300 SXM 288GB at USD 6.71/hr as reserved blocks, with B200 sold out; it lists no A100, L40S, RTX 4090 or L4. The aggregator computeprices.com lists H100 at USD 1.38/hr as Spot, collected 2026-10-30, which is below the reserved rate on the vendor page and is not an offer that page makes today. |
