description: >-
  Shadeform is a GPU cloud marketplace that bills usage-based, per-GPU-hour rates.
  Each instance type carries an hourly price (exposed by the API in cents) that
  passes through from the underlying cloud provider, so effective rates vary by
  GPU type (H100, H200, A100, A6000, L40S, B200, etc.), provider, region, and
  real-time availability. Persistent volumes are billed by capacity over time.
  There is no per-token or per-request charge; you pay for the compute you run.
  Specific per-GPU hourly rates are dynamic and not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Per-GPU-hour prices are marketplace passthrough and change continuously with
  provider supply and demand. Query GET /instances/types (hourly_price, in cents)
  for live rates, or the Shadeform GPU directory, during reconciliation. Free-tier
  and committed/Scale (enterprise) terms were not confirmed against a public
  pricing page at creation time.
