Usage notes

Specified resources

Bill amount for each model service = Number of nodes × [Number of vCPUs × (Unit price of vCPUs/60) + Memory size × (Unit price of memory/60)] × Usage duration (minutes)

For the unit prices per hour of vCPUs and memory, see Table 1. Pricing for specified resources in this topic. Fees are billed per minute. You can calculate the unit prices per minute by dividing the prices listed in Table 1 by 60.

• Billing starts when a model service starts to run and consume resources.

• Billing ends when a model service stops running and releases resources.

If you scale out a model service, you are charged for new resources after the scale-out activity is complete.

If you scale in a model service, the released resources are no longer billed. You are charged only for the remaining resources.

• The usage duration is measured in minutes.

• To prevent unnecessary costs, we recommend that you stop model services that you no longer use.

Specified instance type

Bill amount for each model service = Number of nodes × (Unit price/60) × Usage duration (minutes)

Unit prices may vary based on the instance type and the region. To view the unit prices of nodes, go to the EAS page in the PAI console, click Deploy Service, and then click Custom Deployment. In the Resource Deployment Information section, set the Resource Group Type parameter to Public Resource Group and select the instance type that you want to use. The unit price of the instance is displayed. For more information, see Model service deployment by using the PAI console.

For information about the instance types supported by the public resource group, see Appendix: Public resource group instance types.
