How is billing handled for GPU-as-a-Service?

Cyfuture AI handles billing for GPU-as-a-Service through flexible, transparent models including pay-as-you-go (on-demand hourly or per-minute billing), reserved instances with discounts up to 57% for commitments from 1 to 12 months, and no hidden fees for data transfer or storage.?

Understanding Cyfuture AI's GPUaaS Billing Models

Cyfuture AI's GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) billing prioritizes cost predictability and scalability, catering to AI training, inference, and high-performance computing workloads via NVIDIA H100, A100, V100, L40S, AMD MI300X, and other GPUs. The primary pay-as-you-go model charges only for active compute time—starting as low as $0.41/hour for entry-level options like V100—allowing instant provisioning without upfront costs, ideal for startups or variable tasks. Reserved instances offer deeper savings: for example, a 1xL40S instance drops from $1.16/hour on-demand to $0.57/hour (50% discount) on a 12-month commitment, while an 8xH100 cluster reduces from $27.15/hour to $17.51/hour (35% discount).?

Billing granularity supports per-minute increments for short jobs, with real-time dashboards tracking usage, GPU utilization, and costs across Indian data centers for low latency. No surprise charges apply—storage, network bandwidth (up to 3200 GB/s on multi-GPU setups), and peer-to-peer transfers are included—slashing expenses by up to 70% versus on-premises hardware. Users submit requests via web portal or API, select configurations (e.g., 16-128 vCPUs, 256-2048 GB RAM), and scale from single GPU clusters automatically. Transparent invoicing occurs post-usage, with 24/7 support for queries, ensuring enterprises focus on innovation rather than infrastructure budgeting.?

Pricing Example (1x GPU Instances)	On-Demand (/hr)	1-Month Reserved (/hr)	6-Month Reserved (/hr)	12-Month Reserved (/hr)
NVIDIA V100 (32GB) ?	$0.57	$0.51 (10% off)	$0.46 (20% off)	$0.41 (29% off)
NVIDIA H100 SXM (96GB) ?	$3.51	$3.16 (10% off)	$2.81 (20% off)	$2.34 (33% off)
AMD MI300X (192GB) ?	$2.91	$2.33 (20% off)	$2.09 (28% off)	$1.74 (40% off)

Factors influencing costs include GPU model (higher-end like H100 command premiums for superior FP16 performance up to 1979 TFLOPS), workload duration, and multi-GPU scaling (e.g., 8xL40S at $8.99/hour on-demand). Spot/dynamic pricing may apply for off-peak savings up to 40%, though with potential interruptions for non-critical jobs.?

Conclusion

Cyfuture AI's GPUaaS billing empowers users with on-demand flexibility, substantial reserved discounts, and zero hidden costs, delivering up to 70% savings while supporting mission-critical AI via reliable, scalable infrastructure.?
