What is Nebius AI Cloud?

Nebius AI Cloud is a cloud platform built for AI workloads that rents NVIDIA GPUs and supporting infrastructure by usage. Without approval or a sales call, you can launch up to 32 GPUs from the NVIDIA Hopper, Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra generations through the self-service console, on virtual machines that already have GPU and network drivers installed. Data centers are in Europe and the United States. You can orchestrate clusters with managed Kubernetes or Slurm, run one-click AI and ML applications, and manage everything through the console, API, CLI, Terraform or SDKs. Pricing is pay-as-you-go: on-demand rates include $5.40 per GPU-hour for HGX H200, $4.50 for HGX H100 and $1.80 for RTX PRO 6000, with cheaper preemptible spot capacity and commitment discounts for large reserved clusters. Storage, networking and managed services such as PostgreSQL and MLflow are billed separately, and some services in preview are free. Support is available around the clock through the console. To start, add $25 or more to your account.

Use cases

  • Train machine learning models on GPUs
  • Run AI inference in production
