Why two terms. We sell on 24 or 36 months and pass the commitment through at a flat rate for the whole period: $5.00 on 24 months, $4.70 on 36 — the longer term is 6% lower because the later years fall on a softer market, and the customer shares that risk with us. Month-to-month, quarterly and annual terms are not offered.
Published price lists, verified Sep 25, 2026; B300 per GPU-hour; provider names link to the source. Hyperstack and Nebius publish on-demand only. CoreWeave and Lambda quote reserved via sales. AWS Capacity Blocks list at $14.04/GPU·hr. Verda: published 1-year/2-year reserved tiers (full prepayment); on-demand/spot not compared.
Two-year reserved at $5.00 is ~19% under Verda's two-year rate — which requires full upfront payment; ours is 30% at signing. Three-year reserved at $4.70 is our lowest published rate. Market context: what ~50 providers quoted us for B300.
How a reservation works
- Request a configuration — nodes, term (24 or 36 months) and target start. Free, no obligation.
- Written quote within 24 hours: site, delivery window, exact spec, rate.
- You accept → KYC, then MSA and order form → 30% prepayment invoice locks slot and rate, take-or-pay.
- Delivery → acceptance benchmarks (NCCL over NVLink and the cluster fabric, DCGM diag, burn-in) → billing starts.
Pricing FAQ
Which terms do you offer?
Two: 24 months or 36 months, on whole 8-GPU nodes from a single node up, take-or-pay with 30% at signing; the 36-month term carries the lower rate. Month-to-month, quarterly and annual terms are not offered. The rates are on Pricing; the written quote names the site, the delivery window and the exact node configuration.
Is the reservation paid or binding?
Requesting a configuration is free and creates no obligation. Your quote — site, delivery window, spec and rate — comes within 24 hours. A 30% prepayment then locks your slot and rate; from that point the reservation is take-or-pay.
How do I lock my slot and rate?
Request a configuration → written quote within 24 hours → you accept → KYC, then MSA and order form → 30% prepayment invoice → slot and rate locked, take-or-pay. Remaining 70% per the agreement, monthly invoicing is standard.
Can I cancel a locked reservation?
A locked reservation is a rental contract, not a hold: the 30% prepayment is credited to your term and is not refunded if you cancel. Until you accept a quote, nothing is owed.
What if the delivery window slips?
If the delivery window in your agreement is missed, you choose: a rate reduction for the delay, or a full refund of the prepayment if the delay is material. Billing never starts before acceptance, and your rate does not move.
What if the cluster doesn't pass acceptance?
Acceptance criteria are written into your agreement before delivery. If the cluster doesn't pass them, the prepayment is refunded in full. The criteria are spec-based until first delivery: nccl-tests all_reduce inside the node over NVLink and across nodes over the cluster fabric, against the bandwidth thresholds named in the agreement; DCGM diagnostics at level 3; and a burn-in run.
How does billing work?
Reserved terms: a 30% prepayment invoice after you accept the quote, then monthly invoices per the capacity agreement. Billing starts only after acceptance benchmarks pass. No egress fees.
