With this move, Salad once again positions itself as the lowest-priced cloud provider in the market. The new pricing can be viewed here. 

"We're thrilled to offer our customers unprecedented access to GPU computing resources at the most affordable prices in today’s market," said Bob Miles, CEO of Salad. "Our expanded network and new priority tier system not only lower costs but also provide scalability and flexibility to meet diverse computing needs."

Key Highlights

• Unbeatable Pricing: RTX 4090 from just $0.18/hr or an RTX 3090 from just $0.10/hr.
• Massive GPU Availability: Access to 450,000+ compute providers, ensuring scalability as you grow.
• Flexible Priority Tiers: Four new priority tiers - Batch to High - tailored to your workload requirements.

Why the Price Drop?

1. Increased Supply

With over 450,000 GPUs contributing compute power and 2 million+ GPU owners in our ecosystem, Salad's supply has surged.

• Impact on Pricing: More supply lowers sourcing costs, enabling us to reduce prices for our customers.

2. Customer Feedback

Customers running batch workloads on hundreds of GPUs emphasized the need for access over constant availability.

• Impact on Pricing: By adjusting availability requirements, we can offer lower prices without compromising on scalability.

3. Market Dynamics

The easing GPU shortage has led to lower prices across providers, albeit with smaller scales.

• Impact on Pricing: With zero infrastructure costs, Salad can afford to lower prices further, maintaining our position as the most affordable provider.

4. Increased Adoption

Dozens of companies now run their workloads on Salad, boosting our revenue and business health.

• Impact on Pricing: Healthy business metrics allow us to pass on more savings to our customers.

Introducing the New Priority Tier System

Salad now offers four pricing tiers - from Batch (lowest) to High Priority - allowing workloads to compete for the best nodes based on their selected tier.

• Higher Priority = Higher Availability: Ideal for applications requiring 24/7 reliability.
• Lower Priority = Cost Savings: Perfect for batch workloads where constant availability isn't critical.

Use Case Examples:

• High Priority: AI image generation tools needing 100 GPUs around the clock.
• Batch Priority: Long-running batch workloads like signal processing or molecular dynamics
• Mid Priority: High volume transcription, summarization, translation.
