Questions people ask
How much does A100 SXM 80GB cost per hour?
$2.79 per GPU-hour on-demand at Lambda as of 7 Sep 2026 (40GB $1.99 OD on the same list.). Other sourced prints: $1.99 on-demand 40GB at Lambda, $2.70 on-demand at CoreWeave, $1.21 spot at CoreWeave.
Why do A100 SXM 80GB prices differ so much between clouds?
Because the terms differ. On-demand is a list price with no commitment; spot is interruptible and priced to fill idle capacity; reserved and one-year contracts trade a commitment for a lower rate; AWS Capacity Blocks are scheduled reservations, not on-demand. The tape never averages these: each print carries its venue, term and date.
