Use the resource pool to purchase and manage AI computing resources in PAI. You can create resource groups, purchase cloud-native resources, and manage renewals and unsubscriptions in one place.
Key concepts
Create a resource group and purchase resources
The following cloud-native resource types are available when you create a resource group:
|
Resource type |
Description |

Manage resources
Log in to the PAI console and go to the Resource pool page. Click a resource group name to view and manage its purchased resources. Node orders are split by instance so you can manage each node individually — for example, to renew or unsubscribe.
Add tags to node orders to track costs by tag. To view billing details by tag, see Allocate costs with tags.
Billing
AI computing resources use a subscription (prepaid) billing model. Charges are based on the node specifications, quantity, and subscription duration. For details, see Billing of AI computing resources.
What's next
After creating a resource group and purchasing resources, allocate the resources to a resource quota for AI development or training. For details, see Overview.
