Start with a Hugging Face model, GPU, and real traffic shape. The result keeps fit, utilization, idle capacity, provider dates, and every caveat visible.

1 GPU, FP16, 50,000 requests/day. 500 input and 500 output tokens per request.
Estimated memory fit
No measured aggregate serving capacity matches this configuration. Memory fit and dated hourly rates remain available; monthly rent, replica counts, and API comparisons are withheld.
A matching API price and serving cost are required before this assumption changes a comparison.

Hardware
1 x NVIDIA RTX A6000 48 GB, FP16
Weights and KV cache stay separate so the fit is reproducible.
Single-stream physics only. Batched serving capacity is not established.
50 output tok/sCeiling
Ceiling, not an expected throughput result.
Decode ceiling derived from GPU memory bandwidth and model weight bytes, as of 2026-08-08
Dated GPU-hour rental prices for this hardware. They are not monthly serving totals because throughput evidence is missing.
Each bar compares the labelled value on the same scale.
Hyperstack: $0.50, on demand GPU-hour rate, captured 2026-08-08 (1 month ago). Lambda Cloud: $1.09, on demand GPU-hour rate, captured 2026-08-08 (1 month ago). Cheapest: RunPod, Community Cloud: $0.33, on demand GPU-hour rate, captured 2026-08-08 (1 month ago). RunPod, Secure Cloud: $0.49, on demand GPU-hour rate, captured 2026-08-08 (1 month ago). Verda: $0.61, on demand GPU-hour rate, captured 2026-08-08 (1 month ago).
These are GPU-hour rental prices only. A monthly serving total requires throughput evidence and remains absent.
This line starts the selected vLLM shape. It is not a throughput reproduction claim.

Embed code appears only when the calculator can publish a sourced cost for a fitting configuration.
The calculator does not have a complete throughput source for this workload, so it withheld the cost and does not generate embed code.
