Is OVHcloud's Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (in) the best deal?

AI Endpoints · $0.71/mo

Better deals exist

Vultr's Llama-3.1 serverless inference is dramatically cheaper at $0.01/mo with identical token pricing, though it runs a different (smaller, safety-focused) model. OVHcloud's Qwen3.5-397B is a much larger model, so direct comparison is difficult; however, Vultr's pricing structure has no hidden regional surcharges or upcoming egress changes, making it genuinely better value if model capability meets your needs.

Serverless Inference Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Safety-Guard-8B-v3

$0.01/mosave 98.6%

Transparent per-token pricing with no regional surcharges, IPv4 fees, or upcoming egress penalties; 100% network uptime SLA provides predictability.

Caveat: Model is 8B parameters (safety-guard variant), not 397B; suitable only if smaller model meets your inference needs.

Before you switch

Verify Qwen3.5-397B model capability vs. Llama-3.1-8B for your use case; size difference is substantial.
Confirm OVHcloud's APAC egress-fee timeline (2026-06-01 to 2026-12-31) and whether your region/traffic pattern is affected.
Check Vultr's bandwidth overage rates for your data center; OVHcloud's hidden IPv4 and Windows license costs may apply to your instance type.
Test both providers' actual token-counting methodology; 'input tokens' definitions can vary slightly between platforms.
Review OVHcloud's Object Storage retrieval fees if you plan to cache model outputs or logs.
