# CoreWeave Cost Tuning
## GPU Pricing Reference (approximate)
| GPU | Per GPU/hour | Best For |
|-----|-------------|----------|
| A100 40GB PCIe | ~$1.50 | Development, smaller models |
| A100 80GB PCIe | ~$2.21 | Production inference |
| H100 80GB PCIe | ~$4.76 | High-throughput inference |
| H100 SXM5 (8x) | ~$6.15/GPU | Training, multi-GPU |
| L40 | ~$1.10 | Image generation, light inference |
## Cost Optimization Strategies
### Scale-to-Zero for Dev/Staging
```yaml
autoscaling.knative.dev/minScale: "0"
autoscaling.knative.dev/scaleDownDelay: "5m"
```
### Right-Size GPU Selection
```python
def recommend_gpu(model_size_b: float, inference_only: bool = True) -> str:
if model_size_b <= 7:
return "L40" if inference_only else "A100_PCIE_80GB"
elif model_size_b <= 13:
return "A100_PCIE_80GB"
elif model_size_b <= 70:
return "A100_PCIE_80GB (4x tensor parallel)"
else:
return "H100_SXM5 (8x tensor parallel)"
```
### Quantization to Use Smaller GPUs
Use AWQ or GPTQ quantization to fit larger models on smaller GPUs:
```bash
# 70B model at 4-bit fits on single A100-80GB instead of 4x
vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-AWQ --quantization awq
```
