Developer Gotcha: Stopped Storage Billing

When you click Stop Instance on Nebius AI Studio, your GPU compute charge stops, but the 200GB disk volume continues billing 24/7 ($20.00/mo) until you terminate the volume. Always backup checkpoints to HuggingFace or S3 before terminating.

Estimated Total Monthly BillSpot Rate
$138.95 / month

Hourly run-rate: $0.65/hr compute + $0.0274/hr disk

Active GPU (183 hrs):$118.95
Persistent Disk (200GB 24/7):$20.00
You save ~$343/mo (71%) vs AWS EC2

Equivalent cloud capacity on AWS would cost approx. $482/mo for 6h daily runtime.

AWS Cloud Equivalent:$481.50/mo
Watch Out For (Known Quirks & Pitfalls)
  • •Enterprise-first cloud architecture: credit card authorization and workspace verification required before spinning up 8x H100 clusters.
  • •Instances use high-performance network block storage; deleting an instance without taking a snapshot permanently purges ephemeral root disks.
  • •Billed in enterprise currency tiers; focus is on production multi-node clusters rather than sub-$1 hobby rigs.
Pro Tips & Optimization Hacks
  • ✓Purpose-built for cutting-edge AI: features full 3.2 Tbps NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand fabrics across Tier 4 European supercomputing datacenters.
  • ✓Nebius AI Studio offers rock-bottom token pricing for DeepSeek-R1 ($0.80/$2.40 per 1M tokens) with ultra-low European network latency.
  • ✓Ideal platform for Megatron-LM, DeepSpeed, and FP8 model training with near-linear multi-node scaling efficiency.
