On-Demand vs. Reserved
Both use Hyperbolic’s platform capacity through the same application. The only real difference is how you pay for it:
Same GPUs, networking, and setup. Reserved locks in the capacity at a lower price.
When to use Reserved
- You have predictable, sustained GPU usage
- You want a lower rate than on-demand in exchange for committing to a term
- You want capacity secured for the duration of your reservation
How it works
Choose a fixed term when you create your instance and pay up front. Reserved instances run for the full reservation period and cannot be terminated early.Both on-demand and reserved capacity are self-serve through the app. For large commitments, you can also work with our team directly — contact sales to discuss volume pricing and terms.
