- NVIDIA H100 PCIe: Lium: thin market
- NVIDIA RTX A6000: Lium: thin market
How this is compared
Cloud GPU rental prices of Lambda and Lium, compared per GPU-hour on the GPUs both list. Where a provider has several tiers or regions, its cheapest on-demand rate is used and labelled. Community capacity (RunPod Community Cloud) and marketplace floors are shown only where a provider has nothing else, and never decide which is cheaper.
