Billing
On-demand is per second in arrears, USD, 60-second minimum. Reserved and bare metal are billed at the start of each term at the published discount. Engineering and advertising retainers are a separate invoice.

Illustrative USD before tax. Spot is typical, not a guarantee. Reserved discounts are the published 18 / 24 / 28 / 31% schedule.
How this actually runs
Scheduling is a queue, not a hope. Reserved and bare metal are out of the pool; the scheduler will not place a stranger on your term. On-demand is FIFO with fair-share so one account cannot starve everyone else. Spot is whatever is still idle, reclaimed with five minutes’ notice if a higher class needs the node. Farm frames use the same free-node logic, with priority as a surcharge not a separate fabric.
H100 / A100 density on InfiniBand for training and HPC. L40S / 4090 density on 100 GbE for render and inference. One invoice, one rate card. Data stays where you provision it unless you ask otherwise.
Support has no tier-1 layer. Median first response on a production incident is under fifteen minutes. 99.9% SLA and 24/7 on-call attach to six- and twelve-month reserved and all bare metal. One- and three-month reserved are business hours. On-demand and spot are best effort: we replace failed hardware, we do not guarantee a free slot existed.
Billing is USD. On-demand in arrears, per second, sixty-second minimum. Reserved and bare metal at the start of each term. NVMe, object storage and static IP are separate lines. Engineering and advertising retainers are a different invoice. Taxes follow the entity on the contract and applicable local law.
What shows up on the invoice
GPU-hours (or seconds) at the public rate, minus reserved discount if any. Spot uses the spot rate. Farm jobs are compute, not a per-frame product.
Persistent NVMe $0.09/GB-month, object storage $0.021/GB-month, static IPv4 $4/month. Optional.
Engineering and advertising from $14,000/month, billed in advance, three-month minimum, 30 days’ notice after that. Compute used inside a retainer is still billed at the rental rate.
