Pricing
Model Repositories are backed by E2E Object Storage (EOS). Each model repository uses an EOS bucket, so pricing for Model Repositories is the same as EOS Bucket (Object Storage). You are billed for the storage used by your model artifacts (weights, configs, etc.) under the same slab-based pricing as Object Storage.
For detailed EOS pricing and billing behavior, see Datasets Pricing — EOS Bucket.
Storage Pricing (EOS Bucket)
Slab-based Pricing:
| Slab | Peak Usage per Calendar Month | Monthly Rate (excluding GST) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab 0 | 0 GB to 250 GB | ₹625 Flat | Flat billing |
| Slab 1 | Beyond 250 GB | ₹2.5/GB | Applied on peak usage per calendar month |
Additional Costs:
- Data Transfer: ₹3/GB
Key Points:
- Scalability: Virtually unlimited capacity for model weights and versions
- Billing: Based on peak usage during the calendar month
- First 250 GB: Fixed cost of ₹625/month regardless of actual usage within this range
Understanding Peak Usage:
Peak usage refers to the maximum amount of storage your model repository (EOS bucket) reaches at any point during the calendar month. Your bill is calculated based on this peak value, not the average or end-of-month usage.
Example:
- Day 1–10: You store 100 GB of models
- Day 11–20: You upload more versions, reaching 400 GB (peak)
- Day 21–30: You delete old versions, bringing it down to 200 GB
Billing: You'll be charged for 400 GB (the peak usage), which equals ₹1,000 (400 GB × ₹2.5).
Pricing Examples (Model Repository)
Example 1: Model Repository (10 GB)
Scenario: You store a single LLM model and configs (~10 GB).
| Peak Usage | Monthly Cost (excluding GST) |
|---|---|
| 10 GB | ₹625.00 (Slab 0 flat rate) |
Example 2: Growing Repository
Scenario: You start with 50 GB and add versions over the month, peaking at 300 GB.
| Phase | Peak Usage | Monthly Cost (excluding GST) |
|---|---|---|
| Growth | 300 GB | ₹750.00 (300 GB × ₹2.5) |
Charges are based on peak usage; the repository scales automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Am I charged for data transfer?
A: Yes. Data transfer for EOS (and thus for Model Repositories) is charged at ₹3/GB. This applies when you upload or download model files to/from the repository.
Q: Is there a separate charge for Model Repository itself?
A: No. Model Repositories are not charged as a separate product. You pay only for the underlying EOS bucket storage.
Q: What if I use an existing EOS bucket for my model repository?
A: The same EOS pricing applies. Your bucket’s peak usage (including model repository data) is billed under the same slab-based pricing.
