Run it yourself
On a server by the month

On a GPU by the hour
The GH200 holds Llama 4 Scout in 96 GB of memory against the 68.4 GB the weights, the context and the runtime need. The cheapest one we track is Vultr's vbm-72c-480gb-gh200-gpu at $1.99/GPU-hr, which is $1,452.70 for the 730 hours in a month, checked 21 Oct. Every price for the GH200
How we count
Prices are per million tokens. The big number on each row is blended 3 in : 1 out, the way most work uses a model. A price below OpenRouter's own is listed as cheapest only when the provider says why. Meta trained Llama 4 Scout and sells it on no catalog we read, so the price every row is measured against is OpenRouter's.
- Runs it themselves
- The provider runs the open weights on hardware of its own, so the price is its own rather than a resale.
- Resells
- The provider sells another company's endpoint, at a margin of its own or at the maker's price.
- Same as maker
- Sold by someone else at the price the maker charges.
- Costs more
- Sold by someone else for more than the maker charges.
- Free tier
- Given away inside a quota. A limit is not a price, so it is never called cheapest.
