Is Vultr's Nemotron-Cascade-2-30B-A3B the best deal?

Serverless Inference · $0.15/mo

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's bge-m3 embedding model is significantly cheaper on base pricing ($0.01/mo vs $0.15/mo) and input tokens ($0.01/1M vs $0.15/1M), but it is a different model class (embedding vs large language model inference). If your workload actually requires Nemotron-Cascade-2-30B for generative tasks, OVHcloud is not a true alternative; verify your actual use case before comparing.

Dramatically lower base and input-token pricing makes this attractive for embedding and semantic search workloads.

Caveat: bge-m3 is an embedding model, not a generative LLM; only comparable if your use case is embeddings, not text generation like Nemotron provides.

Before you switch

Confirm whether you need generative inference (Nemotron) or embeddings (bge-m3); they solve different problems.
OVHcloud charges separately for IPv4 addresses and applies Windows license surcharges ($0.039/vCore/hour) if applicable.
OVHcloud APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; verify your data-center region and egress volume.
Vultr bandwidth overage rates vary by location; request explicit pricing for your expected egress to compare total cost.
OVHcloud Object Storage has retrieval fees and minimum storage durations (30-180 days) with early-deletion penalties if you plan to use cold storage.
