Akash marketplace
Akash is a marketplace of independent providers. Prices are bids in USD per GPU-hour as reported by the Akash Console API, and both prices and availability move from minute to minute: a GPU shown as free can be taken before you deploy.
| Interface | GPU memory | Free / total | Lowest | Median | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SXM5 | 80 GB | 4 / 69 | USD 2.04 | USD 2.56 | USD 3.16 |

How to read these prices
- Instance share: the price of the whole instance divided by its number of GPUs, so it includes the instance's vCPUs and memory, not only the GPU. Google Cloud sells the GPU, vCPUs and memory separately, so a Google row is the GPU price plus the per-GPU share of the machine type's vCPU and memory prices.
- Spot: capacity the provider can reclaim at short notice. It is cheaper, but it is not a price for a job that must finish.
- List prices only: no discounts, savings plans, reservations or credits, and no tax, storage, network egress or support.
- Akash is a marketplace, not a price list: its prices and availability move, and its service terms differ from those of a large cloud provider.
