Budget breakdown (Buy mode): GPU cost + server chassis (~$60K/node) + networking (~$20K/node) + installation. Prices are 2026 market estimates. Use our TCO Calculator for detailed 3-year cost modeling including power and staffing.

How Costs Are Estimated

Buy (On-Premise)

GPU list price × 1.40–1.50× infra multiplier covering server chassis (~$60K/node), networking (~$20K/node), and installation. Based on 2026 market estimates.

Rent (Cloud)

Monthly budget ÷ (cloud hourly rate × 730 hrs/month). Rates based on Lambda Labs pricing for reserved instances, all GPUs running 24/7.
