Hardware Unit Shapes by Region

This page lists the hardware shapes available for dedicated AI clusters in OCI Generative AI by region.

Use hardware shapes when you create a dedicated AI cluster to host a model. The hardware shape identifies the underlying hardware for the dedicated AI cluster, such as A100_80G or H100.

The region summary tables list only the hardware shape. Provider prefixes and unit counts aren't shown in the region summary tables.

Note

The full unit shape name in the Console or API depends on how the model is made available:

  • Models offered by OCI Generative AI for dedicated hosting: The unit shape name begins with a provider or model-family prefix. Examples include Cohere_A100_80G_X4, Meta_H100_X8, and OAI_A10_X2.
  • Imported models: The unit shape name doesn't include a provider prefix. For example, use A100_80G_X4 or H100_X8. When you create the hosting dedicated AI cluster, you select the imported model separately from its hardware unit shape.

In both naming patterns, values such as A100_80G and H100 identify the hardware shape, and the value after X identifies the number of hardware units.

The AI unit count is based on the hardware shape and the number of hardware units, not the provider prefix. For example, H100_X2 and Cohere_H100_X2 both use two H100 hardware units and have the same AI unit count. See Hardware Unit Shapes, Service Limits, and AI Unit Counts for the AI unit count of each hardware unit shape.

Hardware Unit Shapes, Service Limits, and AI Unit Counts

The following table lists the service limit, required hardware units, and AI unit count for each hardware unit shape. The AI unit count is determined by the hardware shape and the number after X. A provider or model-family prefix doesn't change the AI unit count. For example, look up H100_X2 in this table for either H100_X2 or Cohere_H100_X2.

The AI Unit Count is the pricing multiplier for one replica of a hardware unit shape. To estimate the hourly price for one replica, multiply the applicable AI Unit Per Hour price on the Pricing Page by the AI unit count in the table. If the cluster has more than one replica, also multiply the result by the number of replicas.

Use the Oracle Cloud Cost Estimator to estimate the cost of your dedicated AI cluster configuration. If the tenancy doesn't have enough limits for the selected hardware shape and unit count, Creating a Limit Increase Request.

Hardware Unit Shapes for Imported Models

For an imported model, select a compatible hardware unit shape that's available in the target region. Imported-model unit shape names don't include a provider prefix because you select the imported model separately when you create the hosting dedicated AI cluster. For example, H100_X2 requires two H100 hardware units. See Hardware Unit Shapes, Service Limits, and AI Unit Counts for its service limit and AI unit count.

Use the region summary tables on this page to identify the hardware shapes available in each region. For the recommended dedicated AI cluster unit shapes for each imported model, see Compatible Models. The recommended shape can be used as the baseline, but you can use more hardware resources when the model supports them and the shape is available in the region.

To calculate the hourly price for an imported-model cluster, multiply the AI Unit Per Hour price for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI - Model Import on the Pricing Page by the AI unit count for the selected shape. If the cluster has more than one replica, also multiply the result by the number of replicas.

Important

Imported models don't require the minimum hosting commitment of 744 unit-hours that applies when you host pretrained models available in OCI Generative AI on dedicated AI clusters.

For the imported-model workflow, see Managing Imported Models.

Baseline Hardware Unit Shapes for OCI Models

The following regional tables show the complete provider-specific unit shape names for models offered by OCI Generative AI for dedicated hosting. To find the AI unit count, remove the provider or model-family prefix and find the remaining hardware unit shape in Hardware Unit Shapes, Service Limits, and AI Unit Counts. For example, use the H100_X2 row to find the AI unit count for Cohere_H100_X2.
