What makes Build AI's pricing stand out is that you can run your workload on interruptible GPUs (spot) and save up to 50% of the cost. They claim interruptions last about 2 hours per day, which makes them particularly suited for training workloads.

If you require guaranteed uptime, non-interruptible GPUs can be reserved on their platform too.
