L4 pricing
What the NVIDIA L4 costs right now: 6 tracked on-demand rates, the spread between them, and what the hourly number turns into when you own the card instead.
The headline on L4 pricing is the spread: the same card costs 3.1x more at the top of the market than at the bottom. The floor comes from Vast.ai (a peer-to-peer marketplace, cheapest but with host-trust trade-offs), the ceiling from AWS, where you are paying for the ecosystem around the GPU as much as the silicon. Every rate below is an on-demand list price; commit to reserved or spot capacity and 30-70% comes off. 72 watts. The efficiency play for video, small-model inference, and high-density serving.
