How this service works
Tell it the job — tokens or GPU hours — and it returns the cheapest compute that can actually run it, priced from official vendor pages. 0.005 USDC per call, no key, free sample response. This capability is scoped to work=gpu.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the recommended cheapest GPU provider (including SKU, estimated cost in USD, price components tagged as list/effective/unknown, source URL, and data freshness), a list of alternative ranked providers with the same detail, a list of disqualified providers with reasons, and payment confirmation metadata including network and transaction reference.
Example use cases
Minimize cost for GPU training run
“I'm about to kick off a GPU training job — can you check which cloud provider is offering the cheapest GPU hours right now based on their official pricing pages, and tell me the top option plus a couple of alternatives?”
Daily GPU pricing dashboard
“Every morning, pull the latest cheapest GPU compute ranking from official vendor prices so I can see how costs are shifting across providers day to day.”
Budget planning for GPU workloads
“I need to estimate GPU compute costs for our next sprint — can you find which provider is currently cheapest for GPU hours and list what others are charging so I can build a cost comparison?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://compute-state-api.replit.app/v1/cheapest?work=gpu&utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, vendor-verified ranking of GPU compute costs and want the cheapest option that is currently available to run a GPU-hour workload. Prefer this over manual price aggregation or cached comparison sites when freshness and official pricing provenance matter. This endpoint is scoped specifically to GPU-hour billing (work=gpu), not token-based inference workloads — use the sibling inference endpoint for LLM token pricing.
Side effects
- Payment not settled — endpoint returns 402 if the 0.005 USDC micropayment is not included or fails
- Stale data — price data may be stale if refreshed beyond the stale_after_s window
- Unknown price components — some SKUs may have components tagged 'unknown', preventing them from being ranked first
- Provider temporarily unavailable — a provider may be omitted from results if their pricing page is unreachable
- No qualifying provider — all providers may be disqualified if none can be confirmed to currently accept new GPU jobs
