description: >-
  FinOps view of JarvisLabs.ai spend. JarvisLabs bills usage-based per-GPU-hour
  rates for GPU instances and per-hour rates for CPU VMs, metered per minute of
  active compute. Persistent storage is billed per GB per month and survives
  pause/resume; egress is free within region. Pausing an instance stops compute
  billing while retaining storage, making pause/resume the primary cost lever.
notes: >-
  Per-GPU-hour rates are subject to change and vary by region and availability;
  verify against the JarvisLabs pricing page during reconciliation.
