A GPU performs the many simultaneous multiplications neural networks need, far faster than a CPU. Whether you rent GPUs in the cloud or buy them, their cost and scarcity are usually the largest line item in an AI video budget.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Real-Time Pipelines and Agents to Serving, Cost, Compliance, and Verticals
The GPU is usually the largest line in a video AI budget, and utilisation matters more than the hourly price. This volume covers GPUs in production: serving infrastructure with vLLM, Triton and TensorRT, batching and throughput, cost per stream-hour, and capacity planning for real-time pipelines. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
Paying for GPU capacity your video AI barely uses?
Share your models and traffic, and we will size the GPU fleet, propose batching and serving changes, and estimate cost per stream-hour. 250+ video products shipped since 2005.
