Nebius has started publishing live spot prices for its GPU compute, so anyone can see what its AI cloud’s interruptible capacity costs at any given moment. The company announced this on October 21, 2026 at GTC Berlin, alongside new purchasing options, an additional $10 million in compute credits for European startups, and a list of customers on the continent already training and running models on its platform.
Nebius’s open pricing in 30 seconds
- Nebius publishes live pricing for its spot GPU capacity on its own site and on platforms like Shadeform, Silicon Data, and GPU Finder.
- It adds reserved auctions, pay-as-you-go, and a pilot that pays customers to return idle GPUs.
- Its European capacity spans Finland, France, the UK, Spain, Estonia, and Iceland.
- It’s expanding its AI Builder Program for European startups with $10 million in additional compute credits.
In large cloud contracts, GPU pricing is usually negotiated case by case. Nebius is taking the opposite approach for its spot capacity, the kind offered at a lower price in exchange for the risk that it can be reclaimed if another customer bids for it. Prices can be checked at nebius.com/spot-prices and through Shadeform, Silicon Data, and GPU Finder. The announcement doesn’t include specific hourly prices or say which GPU models are included in the spot market.
Four Ways to Buy Compute
Besides publicly priced spot capacity, Nebius describes three more options:
- Reserved auctions: to lock in fixed capacity blocks for a short term.
- Pay-as-you-go: access with no commitment to stay.
- Pilot refund program: pays customers who return unused GPUs to the spot market.
Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius, argued that companies should be able to see what compute costs and access it on terms that fit their work. Nico Caprez, vice president of AI infrastructure growth at NVIDIA, added that transparent pricing helps AI companies use that infrastructure on their own terms. Nebius offers NVIDIA HGX B300, GB300 NVL72, and HGX H200 systems.
Nebius’s European Customers
The company backs up the announcement with a list of European customers and what they do on its cloud. They include Black Forest Labs, which used its B200 GPU systems in research on Self-Flow, a key training method for its FLUX 3 models; Photoroom, which builds commercial image-editing models; and Advanced Machine Intelligence, which researches world models. Also on the list is SPRIND, the German innovation agency, which uses Nebius as a compute provider for its Next Frontier AI Challenge.
On the applications side, Prosus runs open-model workloads on Nebius Token Factory for its e-commerce businesses and says it has doubled performance. Dutch bank bunq uses open-weight models on Nebius for its Finn assistant and, according to the announcement, matches the quality of leading closed models at 60% of the cost per response. Portugal’s Sword Health has scaled its mental-health assistant Dawn on Blackwell infrastructure, and Switzerland’s Jua trains a weather-forecasting model for energy markets. Prima Mente, Basecamp Research, Inherent Labs, Sereact, and NormaCore round out the list, spanning fields from biology to robotics.
Nebius is also expanding its AI Builder Program in Europe with an additional $10 million in compute credits, and its Nebius Academy is partnering with NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute on hands-on courses. Spain is among the countries where the company has capacity — it previously announced a new AI data center in Madrid — and this same week it closed a $3.5 billion financing facility with Citi for data centers and GPUs.
