# Lambda

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/gpu/lambda/

GPU cloud from an AI hardware vendor, billed by the minute per GPU with no egress fees.

## Who it suits

Renting exactly the instance shape you need — Lambda publishes 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x plans for the same card, so a single H100 is a real product rather than a fraction of a node.

Consider something else if Its H100 SXM is the most expensive per GPU-hour in this set at $4.29 single-card, and there is no published reserved discount to bring it down.
