AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance that runs this self-hosted AI software. The software price is the same across all options; your cost changes with the instance you pick. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, grouped into families for general-purpose, compute, memory, storage, and GPU-accelerated workloads. Sizes scale from small (large, xlarge) up to very large metal instances, so hourly cost rises with vCPU, memory, and hardware. GPU instances suit models needing acceleration; CPU-only instances suit lighter workloads. Choose the instance that matches your model size and performance needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for each hourly instance charge?
Each dimension maps to one AWS EC2 instance running the preconfigured LocalAI virtual machine. The hourly rate covers the software plus that instance type's vCPU, memory, and hardware. The VM defaults to t2.xlarge with 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM, and ships with 50 GB disk you can increase.
Am I charged when I stop the instance to resize it for a larger model?
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. If you stop the VM to increase its size or disk for a larger model, software metering pauses. You may still owe underlying AWS storage fees for the stopped volume. You resume charges when you restart the instance.
Should I pick a GPU instance or a CPU-only instance?
The VM runs on both CPU-only and GPU-accelerated instances. GPU instances, such as the g4dn family, suit models needing acceleration or high VRAM. CPU-only instances suit lighter workloads. The web interface shows estimated VRAM per model, helping you match instance choice to your model before launching.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
