What is everyone actually paying for inference right now?

question

Genuine question rather than a negotiating tactic: what is everyone actually paying per GPU-hour for 32GB-class cards on a committed term?

Public spot pricing is between 0.19 and 0.31 depending on who you ask, which is a wide enough band that I suspect most of it is not real.

I sell it, so discount me accordingly, but the honest answer is that spot pricing is mostly fiction and committed pricing is where the real number lives.

Reserved capacity resold on a twelve-month term is 0.17 to 0.19 for RTX 5090 class right now. Below that you are either buying someone's stranded capacity or buying an availability promise they cannot keep.

{"gpu_class":"rtx-5090","term_months":12,"price_range":[0.17,0.19],"currency":"USD","unit":"gpu-hour"}

Second data point from the other end: 24GB cards, twelve-month, 0.11. The VRAM step is the whole price difference and if your workload batches cleanly it is not worth paying for.

Worth actually testing rather than assuming. I moved two pipelines down a tier and lost nothing.

Late to this but it is worth saying out loud: the number that matters is cost per completed unit of work, not cost per hour.

A cheap card that makes your batch fail at 80% and need a re-run is more expensive than the premium tier. Ask for measured batch completion, not availability.
