Same model, up to 4.66x different price — full Inference Providers pricing matrix

A new Hugging Face dataset from hardik90/hf-inference-pricing-matrix reveals that the same AI model can cost up to 4.66x more depending on the inference provider, based on an analysis of 14 providers, 107 models, and 295 listings from the Hugging Face router. The price spread for OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b across 10 providers is 4.41x, with DeepInfra often the cheapest, and the dataset is refreshed monthly to help users optimize inference costs.
