Billable items, billing methods, and pricing details for AI computing resources - Platform For AI

This topic describes the billing methods for AI computing resources.

Billing overview

You are billed for the following items:

General computing resources: Covers fees for compute nodes. Only the subscription billing method is supported.
Lingjun resources: Covers fees for compute nodes. Supports both subscription and pay-as-you-go billing methods.

Billable items

Billable item		Billing method	Billing formula	Unit price	Other notes
General computing resources	Computing power node	Subscription	`Bill Amount = Node Specification Unit Price × Quantity × Subscription Duration`	Go to the General Computing Resources tab on the AI Computing Resources > Resource Pools page, switch to the destination region, and click Create Order in the Actions column for the target resource group. Then, view the pricing details on the AI Computing Resource Group_Subscription page.	Some node specifications may be temporarily out of stock in certain regions and are therefore unavailable for purchase.
Lingjun resources	Computing power node	Subscription	`Bill = Unit price of node specifications × Quantity × Subscription duration`	Go to the AI Computing Resources > Resource Pools page and select the Lingjun resources tab. Switch to the destination region, and in the Actions column for the target resource group, click Create Order > Create Subscription Order. Then, on the AI Computing Resource Group _Subscription page, view the pricing details.	Temporarily out-of-stock instance types in a region cannot be purchased.
Lingjun resources	Computing power node	Pay-as-you-go	`Bill = Unit price of node specifications (USD/minute) × Quantity × Usage duration (minutes)`	To view pricing details, go to the AI Computing Resources > Resource Pools page. On the Lingjun Resources tab, switch to the destination region. In the Actions column of the target resource group, click Create Order > Create Pay-As-You-Go Order. The pricing details are on the Resource Specifications selection page of the Create Pay-As-You-Go Order page.	Stop unused pay-as-you-go resources promptly to avoid unnecessary charges. Billing begins once resources are purchased and added to the AI resource group.

Billing examples

Important

The following billing examples are for reference only. Actual costs are based on the prices shown on the console or purchase page.

General Computing Resources billing example

Example scenario:
Assume you purchase two ecs.g7.xlarge-4c16g instances in the China (Shanghai) region and . The unit price for the node specification is USD 78.94/month.
Fee calculation:
Node fee = Unit price per node × Quantity × Subscription duration = 78.94 × 2 × 1 = USD 157.88

Lingjun Resources billing example

Subscription

Example scenario:
Assume you purchase two ml.gu7xf.c96m1600.8-gu108 instances in the China North 6 (Ulanqab) region for a one-month subscription. The unit price for this instance type is USD 23,932.70/month. The actual price is shown on the purchase page.
Cost calculation:
Computing power node fee = Unit price per node × Quantity × Subscription duration = 23,932.70 × 2 × 1 = USD 47,865.40

Pay-as-you-go

Example scenario:
Assume you purchase one ml.gu7xf.8xlarge-gu108 instance in the China North 6 (Ulanqab) region and use it for 45 minutes. The unit price is USD 0.73/minute. The actual price is shown on the purchase page.
Cost calculation:
Computing node fee = Unit price (USD/minute) × Quantity × Usage duration (minutes) = 0.73 × 1 × 45 = USD 32.85
