Prime Intellect — GPU pricing & deliverability
5 tracked offerings · grade mix A:0 · B:0 · C:0 · D:0 · U:5. Aggregator across '50+ providers'; real-time offers are behind the authenticated app, so homepage widget prices are the only public numbers. Homepage claims 'Infiniband Networking - high-bandwidth interconnects across nodes' for cluster products, but publishes no per-offer topology, provider identity, region, or node size. DATA QUALITY CAVEAT: the same widget shows four rows labeled 'H200 / 80 GB VRAM / 184 GB RAM / 32 vCPU' at $1.99, $1.80, $1.23 and $0.47/hr - internally inconsistent (H200 is 141GB), likely an illustrative/mock element; those rows were EXCLUDED. A reserved-cluster calculator shows an example 'B300 SXM6 x 512, 3-year reserved, $5.00/HR/GPU' ($2,560/hr total) - illustrative, quote-based. GH200 ($3.14), RTX Pro 6000 ($3.14), A100 ($3.14), A40 ($3.14) also listed; the identical $3.14 across four different GPUs further suggests partly illustrative pricing. No MI300X or RTX 4090/5090 shown.

Grades measure what sellers publish — deliverability of the written claim, not measured performance. No fleet holds a measured (Verified) badge yet; that tier arrives with the verification harness. Source classes: API = provider's live pricing API · vendor = provider's published page · mkt API = marketplace API · 3rd-party = aggregator (provider publishes no price on its own pages) · quote = quote-gated or "starting at", not a walk-up price. Quote-class prices are shown in tables but excluded from headline ranges, spreads, and fair-price bands.
Terms & trust (as published, 2026-09-14)
| Uptime SLA | not published |
| SLA remedy | none stated contractually; ad-hoc credits/refunds per docs — FAQ: 'We don't provide formal SLAs at this time, as the underlying infrastructure relies on various providers', though refunds/credits may be issued for provider-side instability. ToS: 'All sales are final and no refund will be issued', no availability guarantee, no liability during downtime, liability capped at lesser of 6 months' payments or $500. |
| Capacity guarantee | On-demand pods are non-interruptible vs Spot pods interruptible (up to ~90% discount); reserved clusters via 'Custom GPU Quote' in dashboard 'to ensure availability and reduce costs' (quotes from 50+ providers within 24 hours); API supports prepaid reserved hours. No published uptime/capacity commitment on any tier. |
| Egress fees | not published |
| Billing granularity | per-minute ('Your Prime Intellect credits are deducted every minute while the Pod is active'); API exposes a stoppedPriceHr field implying a stopped-state hourly rate, but stopped-state billing not otherwise documented |
| Self-serve signup | yes for on-demand (dashboard signup, Stripe and Crypto.com payments, up to 8 GPUs on-demand immediately per FAQ); partial for large reserved clusters (custom quote flow) |
| Security certifications | not published |
Notes: Marketplace/aggregator, not an infrastructure owner: pods deploy onto ~20+ underlying providers (API enum includes runpod, lambdalabs, fluidstack, hyperstack, cudocompute, scaleway, tensordock, datacrunch, crusoecloud, nebius, akash, vultr, etc.); ToS pushes provider terms onto the customer ('you explicitly agree to the terms and conditions of any cloud service providers we may utilize'). Egress pricing not published anywhere found. No SOC 2/ISO 27001/HIPAA claims — the /security page is a vulnerability-disclosure policy only. Tier distinction exposed as an API/filter parameter: security = 'secure_cloud' | 'community_cloud'; Multi-Node clusters deploy on 'Secure Cloud infrastructure', but published criteria for secure vs community qualification were not found. SLA posture explicitly deferred to underlying provider SLAs.

Reliability record (public status feed, last 90 days)
5 incidents on Prime Intellect's own status page in the trailing 90 days, collected 2026-09-15. Self-reported by the provider — a floor on true incident count, not a ceiling; it still beats the war-story thread you were going to read instead. High counts often reflect granular per-rack reporting, not worse infrastructure: read the incidents, not just the number.
