Nebius is a purpose-built AI cloud offering GPU instances, InfiniBand clusters, managed Kubernetes, Slurm, serverless AI and token-based inference for teams training and serving models.
About
Nebius is an AI cloud provider that supplies the compute, storage and managed services teams need to train, fine-tune and serve machine learning models. The platform is designed specifically for AI workloads rather than adapted from a general-purpose cloud, covering everything from raw GPU instances to a hosted, token-billed inference API. It addresses the common bottlenecks of AI development: slow cluster provisioning, unpredictable hardware performance, and the operational burden of running training and inference at scale.
The company, Nebius, describes itself as built by people who operate AI infrastructure themselves, with a team of more than 500 AI experts and 24/7 support included by default. Its portfolio spans three products: Nebius AI Cloud (GPU cloud with Kubernetes, Slurm and serverless AI), Nebius Token Factory (an OpenAI-compatible API to open-source models billed per token), and Tavily (web search tooling for agents). Customers named on the site include Revolut, Shopify, RoboForce, Sword Health, Recraft and Photoroom.
Key Features
Pricing & Fees
- Pricing: Usage-based. On-demand GPU instances start at $1.80 per GPU-hour (NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000), with HGX H100 at $4.50, HGX H200 at $5.40, HGX B200 at $8.50 and HGX B300 at $9.50 per GPU-hour. Preemptible spot pricing starts as low as $0.74 per GPU-hour on L40S instances.
- CPU-only and storage options: AMD EPYC Genoa CPU instances from $0.13 per CPU-hour and Intel Ice Lake from $0.06; object storage from $0.010–$0.0147 per GiB/month depending on tier.
- Free managed services: Managed Kubernetes, Soperator (Slurm on Kubernetes), networking egress/ingress traffic and public IP addresses are free of charge.
- Commitment discounts: Reserving large-scale clusters for multiple months costs less than on-demand rates, and pricing can combine committed and on-demand consumption.
- Dynamic spot pricing: Spot prices fluctuate with capacity and demand (as often as every 15 minutes) and are always capped one cent below the on-demand rate.
Who It's For
Nebius targets machine learning engineers, AI infrastructure teams and companies building or scaling models in production. Typical use cases documented on the site include foundation-model training (Shopify, Recraft), large-scale inference for consumer products (Revolut, which handles up to 1.2 million chat tickets per month), physical AI and robotics development (RoboForce), and healthcare AI serving (Sword Health). It suits both startups that need fast access to available GPUs without quota delays and enterprises that require reserved clusters, compliance and hands-on engineering support.
