The biggest lie in AI building? That you need AWS.
Here is my real bill breakdown:
On AWS:
A100 40GB: ∼$3.67/hr even when idle
Storage: $0.10/GB + snapshot fees
Data Egress: $0.09/GB
Result: $1,400/mo base. $1,700 last month with ZERO new training.
You are not paying for compute. You are paying for idle time.

@Fluence :
I did the same job last week:
Rented A100 for 6 hours: $18
Shut it down after training: Billing stopped in seconds
Total data cost: Minimal, provider-local
Fluence isn't a single cloud. It's 71 Tier 3/4 data centers with 1400+ GPUs in 32 regions competing for your job. That competition is why the price is 70-80% cheaper.
No monthly reservation.
No surprise data transfer bill.
No vendor lock-in.
Live price before you start.
And now with $FLT staking live on Ethereum L1, you can actually participate in the network security directly from L1.
If you are an indie builder, small lab or startup training models, stop reserving GPUs you use 20% of the time.
Rent per-second. Train. Shut down. Keep your runway.
Have you compared your last AWS bill to decentralized options?
