SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a daily, automated snapshot of GPU pricing by comparing RunPod community (spot) prices to RunPod secure (on-demand) prices, highlighting dislocations that inform scheduling decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Daily GPU pricing snapshot across A100/H100/4090/3090 for spot vs on-demand.
  • Computes discount percentages and flags significant dislocations to guide deferred work.
  • Writes results to memory/topics/runpod-pricing.md and emits a Signals section when notable changes occur.
  • Integrates with the prefetch workflow to gracefully handle missing API keys or caches.

Quick Start

Run this skill daily to fetch the latest GPU prices, update memory/topics/runpod-pricing.md with a new date section, and generate signals when notable dislocations occur.

Frequently Asked Questions about runpod-spot-pricing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor RunPod GPU spot prices versus on-demand prices?

You can monitor RunPod GPU spot pricing by comparing community spot prices to secure on-demand prices. This skill computes discount percentages for A100, H100, 4090, and 3090 GPUs and appends the daily snapshot to a markdown file.

What is the best way to track RunPod spot price dislocations for capacity planning?

Tracking RunPod spot price dislocations involves computing the discount percentage between spot and on-demand GPU rates. This skill evaluates the pricing data and emits a Signals subsection when notable dislocations occur to guide deferred work scheduling.

How do I calculate the spot discount percentage for A100 and H100 GPUs on RunPod?

Calculating the spot discount percentage for A100 and H100 GPUs requires reading cached GPU type data. This skill reads the RunPod cache file, computes spot, on-demand, and discount_pct per GPU, and writes the results to a dated markdown section.

Does the RunPod pricing monitoring skill work without an API key or cached data?

Yes, the RunPod pricing monitoring skill gracefully handles missing API keys or cache data. It integrates with a prefetch workflow to avoid failures when the required cache file or authentication is absent.

Why are my RunPod spot pricing snapshots not updating in the memory file?

RunPod spot pricing snapshots might not update if the cache file is missing or unreadable. The skill expects a valid gpu-types.json cache to compute prices and append new dated sections to the runpod-pricing markdown file.

Can I use RunPod pricing data to automate daily GPU queueing decisions?

Yes, you can automate daily GPU queueing decisions using RunPod pricing data. By evaluating spot versus on-demand price dislocations across GPU types, the skill provides the daily signals needed to defer or execute compute workloads.
