30-day reliability depth
GPU Finder does not treat availability as a static yes/no flag. For L40, current stock badges are paired with a 30-day reliability score computed from AvailabilityRecord history, measuring how much covered time each tracked row was reported available.
Strongest reliability signals here: PrimeIntellect (100%, 30d covered), Shadeform (94%, 30d covered), Hyperstack (93%, 30d covered).
Caveat: scores stay hidden until a row has at least 48covered hours, and some provider APIs expose coarse capacity levels instead of exact stock counts. Use the score as historical depth beside current availability, not as a guarantee that a GPU will still be allocatable when you click through.
Price History & Comparison
Spot pricing decision guide
Treat spot as a risk-adjusted capacity decision, not just a cheaper number.
per GPU-hour
34% below on-demand floor
fake/equal spot rows suppressed
median $0.47/GPU-hr
Cheapest trusted spot / interruptible capacity is on Vast; 2 providers currently report spot-adjacent stock (61 units/signals visible).
Hyperstack has the strongest 30-day spot-adjacent reliability signal here (93%). See the 30-day reliability depth module for the broader availability history.
The discount is visible, but availability, reliability, or volatility argues for more caution.
Good fit: checkpointed batch jobs, flexible training, and experiments that can restart. Avoid for production serving, deadline-bound runs, or jobs that cannot tolerate eviction.
Source caveat: Runpod exposes explicit spot fields; Vast is labeled interruptible/bid-floor. Lambda is treated as on-demand-only unless a verified spot field is added.
