Preemptible VMs with Spot pricing
Access GPU capacity at market-driven prices, with more choice in how you run and spend.
Choose your price
Dynamic spot prices create opportunities to pay less. Set a maximum price or follow the market to take advantage of them on your terms.
Get GPU capacity
See the dynamic market price and use it to get quick access to GPU capacity for non-mission-critical workloads.
Run how you want
Run experiments, batch inference or data processing jobs on preemptible resources using VMs, serverless runtime or managed Kubernetes.
Live Spot Preemptible VM prices
Access market-driven prices across GPU platforms and regions.
Two ways to benefit
Prioritize low prices
Set your maximum price for workloads where price is the priority.
- Define the highest price per GPU-hour you’re willing to pay.
- Run when the spot price is at or below your limit and capacity is available, paying the applicable spot price.
- Your VM stops if the market price exceeds your limit.
Prioritize capacity access
Follow the market price to avoid price-triggered interruptions.
- Accept the current spot price as it changes.
- Avoid stops triggered by a maximum-price threshold.
- Your VM will only stop when capacity is needed elsewhere.
Note that both options use preemptible capacity. Setting a higher maximum or following the price does not reserve GPUs or guarantee continuous runtime.
Built for work that can pause and resume
Experiment and evaluate
Test model configurations, compare approaches and run evaluations without requiring a fixed completion time.
Process data
Run queued preprocessing, transformation and other GPU jobs that can retry or resume after interruption.
Fine-tune with checkpoints
Use spot capacity for shorter fine-tuning jobs or workflows designed to save progress and recover.
Run batch inference
Process offline inference jobs that can be retried and do not need an immediate response.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, with one exception: NVIDIA L40S preemptible instances are billed at the current flat rate. All other Preemptible Virtual Machines on the Nebius AI Cloud use dynamic spot pricing. You’ll see “preemptible” in the console and documentation.
