The Alibaba price you cited is for interruptible/spot. For V100 on-demand (uninterruptible) Oracle is least expensive from that list at $1.275/hr.

Interruptible is sufficient for model training which is what these high end GPUs are typically used for (and you want cheapest possible)
Some unsolicited feedback, if you're still actively developing:
- You should consider some of the lesser known cloud providers (e.g. Coreweave/Lambda Labs/TensorDock).
- Add information about whether the servers support NVLink/NVswitch. For example, A100s come in 3 flavors: PCIe without NVLink bridges, PCIe with NVLink bridges, and SXM with NVlink/NVSwitch fabric.
I was wondering, do you happen to have an API for listing servers? We're launching a marketplace later in August (https://www.tensordock.com/product-marketplace), and we expect pricing to be really really cheap. Like #1 in industry cheap while retaining.
Interruptible, if we add that, would probably be even less than those prices listed.
It'd be really cool if we could auto-update availabilities of GPU servers through an API so that we can list our servers on your tool as well :)
