TPU v5 Lite Cloud GPU Pricing
Compare TPU v5 Lite prices across 1 cloud providers. On-demand from $1.96/hr.
30-day reliability depth
GPU Finder does not treat availability as a static yes/no flag. For TPU v5 Lite, 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.
This page has live pricing and current stock rows, but not enough retained availability history yet to publish 30-day reliability percentages.
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
69% below on-demand floor
fake/equal spot rows suppressed
median hidden until ≥3 rows across ≥2 providers
Cheapest trusted spot capacity is on Google Cloud; 0 providers currently report spot-adjacent stock.
30-day reliability context is still sparse for the trusted spot rows on this GPU. See the 30-day reliability depth module for the broader availability history.
There is a valid spot or interruptible row, but not enough trusted history to overstate the signal.
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.
