AI infrastructure is the unsexiest part of the sexiest AI industry, as we like to say :)
But this part has its own (unsexy:) innovations too.
One of them is pricing. A more programmatic approach through auctions is the way forward.
We were the first AI cloud to introduce a successful auction.
(I can talk all day about why the marketplace approach doesn’t work that well, btw. Hint: compute is not a commodity!)
And now we have the auction built directly into the platform.
More to come.
Today we're introducing spot pricing for preemptible VMs on Nebius.
From October 8 the price will be calculated dynamically from available capacity and demand, per GPU type and region, instead of a discount we set.
Cap what you pay, or follow the price. Settings are live today.
$NBIS raises rates again, this time on token factory-rated compute.
Why raise rates? It's because they can. This isn't isolated to Nebius. It's everyone in the space. Demand is robust, and it's likely more durable than most believe.
$NBIS JUST IN 🚨
$NBIS with another price hike this time to token factory PAYG dedicated endpoints matching their previous October 1st cloud GPU price hike and going even further for some GPUs.
H100: $4.05 → $4.70/hr (+16%)
H200: $4.70 → $5.60/hr (+19%)
B20O: $7.40 →
$NBIS announces another Oct. 1 GPU price hike with Token Factory PAYG Dedicated Endpoint pricing moving up ~20% across major $NVDA GPUs.
Nebius is now raising prices across both cloud compute and inference which shows demand is still running ahead of available capacity.

“ We produce longer survival and we have lower cost”
- Northwest Biotherapeutics CEO Linda Powers speaking about the DCVax-L platform in 2013.
“In those clinical trials patients who received our treatment, which is an immune therapy using a patients’ own immune therapy to fight the cancer.
Our patients live for several years longer than the standard of care with cancer drugs.
And the way that we make it so that it’s costing less is that we’ve spent more than a decade developing manufacturing.
And in eight days we make a big batch of doses personalized for that patient.
And we make enough doses in one batch for more than three years of treatment.
And then it’s frozen in single doses and after that we just take it out of the freezer as needed.
So that enables it to be much more economical.
So it’s a combination. We produce longer survival and we have lower cost…”

Interview from 2013
Still waiting in 2026
More than a decade ago Northwest Biotherapeutics CEO Linda Powers was asked when DCVax-L will be available to patients, outside of clinical trials.
“…so we hope very soon.
Of course we can never, you know, preempt the

close models scale demos, and open models scale margins
Harvey’s seat license was prepaid inference with a login.
they sold annual seats with basically unlimited use.
They rented openai and anthropic by the token, and after a march agent update, token use jumped about 20x this year.
Sure their ARR doubled ($190M to $400M+), but gross margin went from 50% to about −50% by june.
revenue 2× / tokens 20×
that ratio didn't work with their pricing model
the quiet part of a lot of AI SaaS in last few years was that lawyers (and everyone else) were not really using the thing. The low adoption looked like high margin.
Then the agents got good enough that people left the tab open. Multi hop drafting, cite checks, redlines, long context. Each seat started acting like a small inference farm.
so they did what every crushed wrapper eventually does: move the bulk off the frontier.
In August they shipped tenet, post trained on Kimi K3. Margins turned positive again after that plus other usage changes (exact mix of traffic on tenet still opaque)
agent seats are software until the product works, after that they become a routing problem: cap the customer, meter them, or own a cheaper model path you can actually run.
this is basically the job of @nebiustf: serve the open source side of that routing decision so the app layer can keep seats without dying on someone else’s token price.

> be Harvey
> lawyers give you money “bcuz AI”
> product sucks, no one uses
> seat pricing means less usage = higher margins
> acquire $15.5B valuation selling mediocre frontier model wrapper
> models suddenly git gud

Thank you, Kristen, for getting the word out. Too many people know nothing about this and people are dying because old school medicine, FDA and BIG PHARMA are greedy. $NWBO #DCVAX@RFKJrHealthSec@elonmusk

More than a decade ago this
report aired about DCVax treating brain and other cancers.
This is the non toxic treatment @HollensbeAmanda & @HollensbeBrae have to travel to London for.
The DCVax platform was created by an American company.
Dr. Marc Siegel:
“.. it
#DCVAX needs approval all over the world. In multiple clinical studies, #DCVAX has proven effective, non toxic, and enhanced by agonists. Why don’t we give physicians tools to treat diseases, not handcuff them to therapies of the past?

@greta@greta what all these patients need is approval. First in the UK and in the United States. I think something nefarious may be going on with the MHRA in London and our own FDA. There is definitive proof that this therapy works so why the delay in approval ?
