|---|---|---|---|
| 70B | GPU L ($3.50/h) | GPU M ($1.80/h) | ~48% |
3. Pause When Not Needed
Stop deployments during off-hours:- Pause overnight
- Pause weekends
- Use auto-scaling
4. Monitor Usage
Check the Cost Analysis dashboard regularly to identify:- Underutilized deployments
- Expensive requests
- Optimization opportunities
