Obolith features

  • Cost calculators. Six calculators (API cost, self-host break-even, fine-tuning, vector index, GPU ROI, stack cost) estimate expenses layer by layer.
  • Hardware builder. Reference builds for local workstations or private GPU servers help size infrastructure.
  • LLM API pricing table. Daily-updated token prices for 182 models from major providers.
  • GPU cloud pricing. Hourly rates for on-demand and spot GPU rentals across specialised clouds.
  • Storage & vector DB pricing. Prices for vector databases, embedding APIs and object storage with egress fees flagged.
  • LLMOps tools index. Catalog of 29 observability, gateway, eval and guardrail tools (18 open source).

Replicate features

  • One-line model inference. Run any public model with a single line of code in Node, Python or HTTP.
  • Fine-tune with your data. Improve existing models by training on your own datasets via the Replicate API.
  • Deploy custom models. Package models with Cog to create private, scalable API endpoints.
  • Pay-as-you-go pricing. Only pay for compute time or per-output token/image; no upfront fees.
  • Hardware selection. Choose CPU or GPU instances (A100, H100, L40S, T4) and scale automatically.
