On-demand vs spot: what's the difference?
On-demand, Runpod Community Cloud, and a published starting price are firm L40S 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.

“L40S 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 48 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.
