H100 SXM5 instances with NVLink interconnect are commonly used for large-scale training workloads. A100 40GB and RTX 4090 instances are frequently used for fine-tuning and inference of smaller models.

LeaderGPU billing model and cost structure

LeaderGPU uses On-demand (hourly) pricing. Spot pricing is not currently available on this provider — all instances are on-demand. Reserved instance pricing may be available for predictable long-running workloads — check the provider's pricing page for current committed-use rates. Always compare the effective hourly rate including egress, storage, and networking costs when evaluating total cost of ownership across providers.

Choosing the right GPU on LeaderGPU

GPU selection depends on model size, precision, and whether your workload is compute-bound or memory-bandwidth-bound. For LLM training above 30B parameters, H100 80GB SXM5 instances with NVLink are the standard choice — high HBM3 bandwidth and FP16 throughput make them well-suited for large transformer workloads. For inference of 7B–13B models in FP16 or BF16, A100 40GB is a common choice on many providers. RTX 4090 instances are widely used for fine-tuning, prototyping, and quantized inference (INT4/INT8) of models up to 70B. Read the H100 vs A100 guide or the GPU benchmarks for ML guide for a full breakdown.

How LeaderGPU pricing data is collected

Prices shown are sourced from LeaderGPU's public pricing API or pricing page and refreshed every 15 minutes. On-demand rates reflect the current list price for a single GPU instance in the cheapest available region. Spot prices, where available, reflect interruptible instance rates at the time of the last snapshot. All prices are in USD per hour. Daily snapshots are kept in our history archive and visualised in the GPU price history charts — useful for identifying seasonal pricing patterns and evaluating whether current rates are above or below the 30-day average.
