On-demand vs spot: what's the difference?
On-demand, Runpod Community Cloud, and a published starting price are firm A100 40GB quotes: the rate printed for capacity without a preemption warning. Spot and interruptible rates can be lower, and the host can take the GPU back. This page keeps them out of the cheapest firm line. A MIG slice is a fraction of a card and is labeled as such. Reserved terms are listed and do not set the headline.

“A100 40GB price per hour” here means the published USD rate for one GPU, or a node price divided by the GPU count when the provider only sells a multi-GPU machine. The usual memory on this board is 40 GB; a row says otherwise when the source prints a different figure.Booking still happens on the provider's site. Referral links on provider pages are placeholders and are not paid placements.
