We earn commissions when you shop through the links below.
Prices below are US dollars per GPU per hour, on-demand, before tax, read on November 4, 2026 from Runpod's and Lambda's pricing pages and Vast.ai's public offer search (verified single-GPU offers at the card's standard memory). Vast.ai is a marketplace, so its prices change by the minute. Not sure how much VRAM you need? Check your model first: GPT-OSS 120B memory requirements, Mistral Large 4 VRAM, Nanbeige 4.3 VRAM, or the VRAM calculator.
The Vast.ai and Runpod links are referral links; Lambda links are plain links (disclosure). Each row shows a Verified timestamp; amber means the price may be stale (>24 hours).
