Pricing models

Hello, my company is planning on trying some AI models for coding and we are planning on getting the GPUs from RunPod. But what we can't figure out is pricing, how does it work if we use the models about 8:00-16:00 every weekday? Are we still going to be billed $2.47 24/7?

RunPod doesn't charge you for models, they charge you for pod and volume

Yes but if we have a pod setup & running how is it charged? Should we just stop the pod @16:00 every day? Or will it stop automatically if not being used?

No, nothing is automatic, you create pods and then terminate it. If you don't terminate them they will be considered in use.

serverless should be the easiest but if you wanna use pods, use infrastructure as code that should be robust enough write some terraform scripts with custom images or network volumes and then cron terraform apply / terraform destroy that will setup everything when you want it and destroy everything when you dont want it its reliable and very serviceable --- why does runpod not have a terraform provider ❔

Serverless, Terraform. Everything is so easy in writing. 😆

Its called realistic approach. Nothing is easy until you go through the pain of doing it.
