GH200 from $0.49 per GPU-hour
A Hopper GPU welded to a Grace CPU over NVLink-C2C, so the CPU memory is reachable at a bandwidth PCIe cannot approach. It shines when the dataset, not the model, is the bottleneck.
Billed per started minute. 96 GB of GPU memory on a 1× node. Persistent storage $0.08 per GB-month. No egress fees.

GPU-to-GPU link: NVLink-C2C 900 GB/s CPU-GPU; NVLink 4 (NVL2/NVL32); up to 4x PCIe Gen5 x16. Local NVMe is scratch space wiped when the instance ends; keep anything you need on a persistent disk.

A region with zero free GPUs still accepts reserved capacity requests — we hold hardware for a term rather than sell what is already taken.
What fits in 96 GB — and what it costs per hour.
Weights need about 2 GB per billion parameters at FP16 / BF16, 1 GB per billion parameters at FP8, 0.5 GB per billion parameters at INT4. We keep 20% of the memory free for activations, the KV cache and the CUDA context, then take the smallest node that still fits.

Real usage depends on context length, batch size and the serving engine: a long context can add tens of gigabytes of KV cache. Treat the table as the floor, not the ceiling — and if a job is close to the limit, take the next node size or quantise one step further.

What people run on a GH200.
Training and full fine-tuning
Enough memory for optimiser states and activations on models a smaller card can only run in inference.
Serving large models
A 70B model at FP8 across two GPUs, with room for a long context window.
Multi-GPU jobs over NVLink
GPU-to-GPU traffic stays off the PCIe bus, which is what makes tensor and pipeline parallelism worth it.
Partitioned serving (MIG)
The GPU can be split into isolated instances, each with its own memory and compute slice.

GH200 — the questions that come up
How much does a GH200 cost per hour?
Spot is $0.49 per GPU-hour and on-demand is $0.79, both billed per minute — every started minute costs the hourly price divided by 60, so $0.0082 on spot. Reserved capacity is $0.59 per GPU-hour on a monthly commitment. Storage and egress are not included in that rate: persistent disks are $0.08 per GB-month and there are no egress fees.
How many GPUs can I put in one instance?
Node sizes are 1× — up to 1 GH200 GPU in a single virtual machine, with CPU, RAM and local NVMe scaled with the GPU count. The price per GPU is identical at every node size.
Can it run a 70B model?
Yes. At FP8, a 70B model needs about 70 GB for the weights, so it fits on 1× GH200 ($0.49 per hour on spot) with roughly 20% of the memory left for activations and the KV cache.
Which regions have it?
Available now in US East (Virginia). Prices are identical in every region; pick the one closest to your data.
How often is a spot GH200 reclaimed?
Over the trailing 30 days, 5–10% of spot instances on this model were reclaimed. You get a 2-minute notice on the metadata endpoint, through a webhook and in the console; the instance is then stopped, never deleted, and the persistent disk stays attached.
