The global hyperscale clouds — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle. Deep managed capacity, enterprise contracts, and the widest service surface. Guaranteed lists sit at the top of the market; their interruptible grade prices the same silicon’s spare capacity down into the neocloud range, repricing against available capacity while the lists hold still.
The dedicated GPU specialists — CoreWeave, Lambda, Nebius and peers. Single-tenant clusters built for training and inference, priced below the hyperscaler lists. Where these venues post an interruptible tier, it is typically a fixed discount off their own card.
Marketplace and shared-pool venues — Vast, RunPod and aggregators. Self-serve capacity that reprices continuously, where posted cards elsewhere move rarely. Both grades trade here and the interruptible legs float. This page’s ladder compares guaranteed rates; the interruptible grade is published as its own ladder on the home page and in the explorer.
| Attribute | Hyperscaler | Neocloud | Marketplace |
| Footprint | Managed multi-service hyperscale cloud | Dedicated single-tenant GPU clusters | Shared-pool or marketplace supply |
| Networking | Hyperscale backbone, managed networking | Dedicated cluster fabric, often InfiniBand | Variable — Ethernet or undisclosed |
| Services | Full enterprise services, support, compliance | Focused GPU stack, lighter wrap | Self-serve, minimal support |
| Examples in this segment | e.g. AWS · Azure · Google Cloud · Oracle | e.g. CoreWeave · Lambda · Nebius | e.g. Vast · RunPod · marketplaces |
| Typical use | Enterprise & regulated workloads | Dedicated training & inference | Cost-sensitive batch, dev/test, spot |
Each segment describes a distinct class of operator — hyperscaler,
neocloud, or marketplace. The segment is a property of the
operator, not the chip: the same silicon is priced
across all three, so the ladder compares one chip's hyperscale,
neocloud, and marketplace rate side by side.
