- Accelerators
- A100, L40S
- Regions
- Global edge
- Pricing model
- Per second, scale to zero.
- Getting started
- Self-serve.
- Capacity
- Small GPU fleet relative to the CPU platform.
- Ownership
- Private.
Verified 2026-09-09. Fields reading “not published” are exactly that — we do not estimate a figure a vendor withholds.
The counterparty
The GPU product is an extension of an established application platform.
A multi-year GPU commitment is a credit decision wearing a cloud contract. This is the section no benchmark covers and the one that decides what happens to your workload in 2028.
The catch
A short list of parts. This is an adjacency play, not a GPU cloud.
The economics
Value comes from co-location with your app, not from the hourly rate.
No rate is quoted on this page on purpose. Published list prices at this layer move weekly and essentially nobody signing a real contract pays them. Dated, sourced figures live in the GPU rental price index, where the spread between the cheapest and dearest seller of the identical chip runs to roughly 9x.
The layers underneath this one
Whatever you rent here is a chip in a building that needs power. In 2026 megawatts, not silicon, are the binding constraint on the whole industry — a frontier rack draws 120–200 kW against a 2026 average near 27 kW, and the US interconnection queue exceeds 2,600 GW.
