Rent an NVIDIA V100 16GB from $0.04 per GPU-hour
NVIDIA V100 16GB price per hour: $0.04 per GPU-hour on spot, $0.08 on-demand, $0.06 reserved, billed by the minute. The 16 GB Volta card. Fine for fine-tuning small models and for CUDA workloads written before Ampere; look at newer cards if you need quantisation.
Billed per started minute. 64 GB of GPU memory on a 4× node. Persistent storage $0.08 per GB-month. No egress fees.

A region with zero free GPUs still accepts reserved capacity requests — we hold hardware for a term rather than sell what is already taken.
What fits in 16 GB — and what it costs per hour.
Weights need about 2 GB per billion parameters at FP16 / BF16. We keep 20% of the memory free for activations, the KV cache and the CUDA context, then take the smallest node that still fits.

Each model links to its full sizing: KV cache by context length and every GPU that runs it — GPU requirements for 64 open models.
Real usage depends on context length, batch size and the serving engine: a long context can add tens of gigabytes of KV cache. Treat the table as the floor, not the ceiling — and if a job is close to the limit, take the next node size or quantise one step further.

V100 16GB — the questions that come up
How much does a V100 16GB cost per hour?
Spot is $0.04 per GPU-hour and on-demand is $0.08, both billed per minute — every started minute costs the hourly price divided by 60, so $0.0007 on spot. Reserved capacity is $0.06 per GPU-hour on a monthly commitment. Storage and egress are not included in that rate: persistent disks are $0.08 per GB-month and there are no egress fees.
How many GPUs can I put in one instance?
Node sizes are 1×, 2×, 4× — up to 4 V100 16GB GPUs in a single virtual machine, with CPU, RAM and local NVMe scaled with the GPU count. The price per GPU is identical at every node size.
Can it run a 70B model?
Not on a single node of this model: at FP16 a 70B model needs about 140 GB of memory for the weights alone, more than 4× 16 GB leaves free. Quantised to 4 bits it needs about 35 GB — check the memory table above — or pick a model with more memory per GPU.
Which regions have it?
Available now in US East (Virginia), EU Central (Frankfurt). Prices are identical in every region; pick the one closest to your data.
How often is a spot V100 16GB reclaimed?
Over the trailing 30 days, <5% of spot instances on this model were reclaimed. You get a 2-minute notice on the metadata endpoint, through a webhook and in the console; the instance is then stopped, never deleted, and the persistent disk stays attached.
