Lightning AI cost estimation

Every machine price on lightning.ai/pricing comes from one public endpoint. Always fetch prices, capacity and SKU slugs live; never quote them from memory. They all change, and this file deliberately carries no price snapshot.

1 Lightning credit = $1 USD. Machines bill per second while allocated; storage bills daily. Docs: billing FAQ · manage costs.

Setup & auth

The accelerator catalog needs no auth, so plain curl works before login:

curl -s "https://lightning.ai/v1/core/accelerators?cloudProvider=MACHINE" | jq '.accelerator | length'
