When does a reserved GPU cost less than on-demand?
Divide the total commitment price by the comparable on-demand hourly node rate. The result is the number of on-demand hours costing the same amount; below that usage, an unused reservation can cost more.
Compare the same GPU variant, node size and region. Include fees that differ between plans. A starting reserved rate without a published term or volume is not enough to compute a commitment total.
Use the job cost and fee table, model memory estimates, training calculator, and price trends for the relevant inputs.
