Fine-tune cost on a B200
Answer in brief
The B200 is the card for a full fine-tune of a large model, and the one where the smallest rental changes the bill most.
Runcrate is our pick for it because it lists each GPU with its own price and smallest rental, billed by the second, with its live B200 price in the table here.
What the B200 is
The B200 is a Blackwell datacenter GPU, built for training and for high-throughput inference. It holds more memory than the H200 and sits above it in price. For fine-tuning it is the choice when the job is too large for an H200 or needs to finish sooner.
What it costs today
On 12 Nov 2026, on-demand B200 prices listed here ran from $3.50 to $14.24 per GPU-hour. The median was $8.34.
Single cards and nodes
Some B200 prices are per GPU inside an 8-GPU node. The node is the smallest thing you can rent, so the hourly bill is eight times the listed figure. On 12 Nov 2026, the lowest listed hourly total for an 8-GPU B200 machine was $28.00.
A fine-tune that uses all eight is priced fairly by the per-GPU figure. A fine-tune that uses two is not.
The arithmetic
Time a slice on the B200 count you will rent, and scale it. Multiply the hours by the GPUs you pay for, which may be more than the GPUs you use. Multiply by the price per GPU-hour. A day on a whole node is twenty-four times its hourly total.
At this price a failed run is expensive. Prove the pipeline on a smaller card first, and move to the B200 for the runs that need it.
When to choose it
Choose the B200 when the job does not fit on an H200, or when a timed slice shows the B200 finishes it for less in total. For LoRA work on a mid-sized model it is more GPU than the job needs.
