AI infrastructure is the unsexiest part of the sexiest AI industry, as we like to say :)
But this part has its own (unsexy:) innovations too.
One of them is pricing. A more programmatic approach through auctions is the way forward.
We were the first AI cloud to introduce a successful auction.
(I can talk all day about why the marketplace approach doesn’t work that well, btw. Hint: compute is not a commodity!)
And now we have the auction built directly into the platform.
More to come.
Today we're introducing spot pricing for preemptible VMs on Nebius.
From October 8 the price will be calculated dynamically from available capacity and demand, per GPU type and region, instead of a discount we set.
Cap what you pay, or follow the price. Settings are live today.
