Lium is now live on Flopper as a Verified provider. Its prices are read every six hours from the public feed Lium publishes for every free machine on its network, so the figures on each GPU pricing page are the ones you would pay if you rented right now.
Lium is a GPU cloud for developers and AI agents. You rent a bare machine, from a single RTX 3060 to an 8-GPU B300 node, get SSH and Docker access within minutes, and pay per second for exactly as long as the pod runs. There is no minimum spend and no contract.
What Lium is
The machines do not come from one operator’s fleet. Lium runs a marketplace where independent data centers and providers list hardware, and Lium verifies every GPU, scores the machine’s performance, meters usage and pays the host. Prices follow supply, which is why a GPU on Lium often costs well below the same part on a hyperscaler.
Capacity is on-demand only, in two tiers:
- Secure nodes come from vetted data centers whose operators are penalised if a rental is interrupted. This is the tier for anything that must finish.
- Spot nodes are cheaper and can be reclaimed, so they suit jobs that checkpoint and resume.
Every pod gives root and Docker-in-Docker access, pod volumes are encrypted at rest, and confidential computing nodes keep the host operator out of a running pod. A provider who touches a renter’s workload is banned from the network for good.
GPUs Lium offers
Lium lists 22 NVIDIA GPU models, from Blackwell Ultra datacenter parts to consumer cards for local inference. Each one links to its specification page on Flopper, where the pricing page for the part is one click away.

Availability varies by the hour. A model appears on a Flopper pricing page only while at least one machine carrying it can be rented, which is why the live listing count sits below 22 on most days.
What the Flopper listing shows
Flopper tracks 20 Lium listings across the datacenter and workstation GPUs in the catalog, from the RTX A4000 (2021) to the Blackwell Ultra B300 (2025). Each one is the cheapest machine on the network that can be rented at that moment, kept separately for the Secure and Spot tiers.
Because Lium is a marketplace, its Secure prices are filed as marketplace capacity and its Spot prices as spot, the same treatment Vast.ai and RunPod Community receive. The headline cheapest-on-demand figure on each pricing page still comes from operators running their own fleets, so the comparison stays like for like. Lium’s rows sit directly beneath it, with the tier shown on every row.
Prices on 26 October 2026, per GPU-hour, at the cheapest rentable machine:
| GPU | Tier | Price per GPU-hour | Machine |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA RTX A4000 | Secure | $0.12 | 8 GPUs, US |
| NVIDIA RTX A6000 | Secure | $0.42 | 1 GPU, US |
| NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell | Secure | $1.19 | 1 GPU, US |
| NVIDIA A100 80 GB SXM4 | Secure | $1.68 | 8 GPUs, US |
| NVIDIA H100 SXM5 | Spot | $1.75 | 8 GPUs, Finland |
| NVIDIA H200 SXM | Spot | $3.45 | 1 GPU, Finland |
| NVIDIA B300 SXM | Spot | $4.00 | 8 GPUs, US |
| NVIDIA B200 SXM | Secure | $5.00 | 1 GPU, US |
| NVIDIA B300 SXM | Secure | $8.00 | 1 GPU, US |
These move hour by hour as hosts come and go. The pricing page for each GPU carries the current figure, the 30-day history and the Lium row beside every other provider offering the same part.
Built for AI agents
Lium’s console is optional. Everything can be driven from the CLI, the Python SDK or the REST API, which is what makes it a fit for agents that rent and release GPUs on their own:
- The CLI and SDK return JSON with stable exit codes.
- Rent-by-spec takes the cheapest node under a price ceiling rather than a named machine.
- API keys carry scopes and daily, monthly and lifetime USD budgets, so a runaway agent hits a cap, not a credit card.
- A pod can be given a time to live and terminates itself.
The same public feeds Flopper reads are open to anyone: a live list of every free machine and the price range per GPU model, with no key or signup. The Lium developer docs describe both.
Where Lium runs
Lium’s hosts span 19 countries across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, with the United States the largest pool. Flopper records the country of the cheapest machine on each row, so the table above shows where the price was found rather than every location the GPU is available in.
About the listing
Lium is a paying Verified provider on Flopper. The tier changes where Lium appears on the site, including this announcement and its place on the providers index. It does not change the prices Flopper records, the way they are ranked or the rules that decide which figure leads a pricing page. Those come from the same feed and the same code as every free listing.
The Lium provider profile has the full GPU list, the regions, the FAQ and the link to sign up. To see Lium against another marketplace, open Lium vs Vast.ai.
