About the T4
The T4 is a Turing-generation NVIDIA data center GPU, built for large-scale AI training, inference, and HPC. Released in 2018, it carries 16 GB of GDDR6 at 320 GB/s, which sets how large a model fits on one card and how fast its weights stream. On Lium it is rented from independent providers by the second, with no minimum and no reservation, from the browser or the CLI.
What people run on it
- Training and fine-tuning language models
- High-throughput LLM inference
- Multi-GPU jobs in one node
- HPC and scientific computing

What runs on one T4
With 16 GB of memory, one card holds roughly the following open models for inference, counting the weights plus about 20% for activations and cache. Rent several GPUs in one pod to go bigger.
| Precision | Largest model that fits |
|---|---|
| FP16 | Under 7B parameters |
| 8-bit | 13B parameters |
| 4-bit | 13B parameters |
Running one T4 around the clock for a month (730 hours) costs about $110 at the reference price; you pay only for the seconds a pod runs.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a T4 on Lium?
No T4 pod is free at this moment. The marketplace reference price is $0.15 per GPU-hour; the page updates when a provider lists one.
Where is the cheapest place to rent a T4 by the hour?
No T4 pod is free on Lium at this moment; the reference price is $0.15 per GPU-hour, billed per second with no minimum once a provider lists one.
Is there a minimum rental period?
No. Lium bills per second with no minimum and no reservation: start the pod when you need it, delete it when the job is done, and pay for the seconds it ran.
How do I rent a T4 pod?
Top up a balance by card or crypto, pick a T4 pod on the marketplace, choose a Docker template, add your SSH key and deploy. From a script, run lium up with the node id after exporting LIUM_API_KEY.
Where do the machines run, and what happens to my data?
Providers run their own hardware in their own facilities, and every pod on the marketplace names its city and country, so you can pick a region before you start. Your data lives on the machine you rented and is released when you delete the pod; attach a volume if you need storage that outlives a single pod.
