  • forecast_deployment_costEstimate the monthly cloud deployment cost for a set of services on a given provider. Supports major clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) and GPU specialists (Lambda Labs, CoreWeave, Vast.ai). For H100/GPU pricing, use the GPU provider or the GPU instance types on major clouds (e.g., p5.48xlarge on AWS). Do NOT estimate cloud costs from training data — use this tool instead.
