Hosted

Google LLC · google.com since 1997 · status page · who's behind it

Cloud Run GPUs attach one NVIDIA L4 or RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU to a Cloud Run service, job or worker pool, so a container serves models serverlessly, billed per second and able to scale to zero.

Best for Serving small and mid-size open models, or batch jobs, from a container that should scale to zero.

Assessment. Serverless GPUs on Cloud Run, an L4 or RTX PRO 6000 per instance, billed per second, scaling to zero and starting in about 5 seconds before the model loads, with a published SLA and IAM. One GPU per instance, 3 GPUs of default quota a region and instance-based billing limit it to small and mid-size models.

From our research 7 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Surface listed
GPUs on Cloud Run services, jobs and worker pools, configured through gcloud, YAML, Terraform or the Cloud Run Admin API, read from docs.cloud.google.com (GPU pages for services and jobs, GPU best practices, quotas, release notes), the pricing page, the SLA and status.cloud.google.com on 6 November 2026. Nothing was deployed
Scope
The GPU option of Cloud Run. Google Cloud's other model and compute products are separate, and no Anchor Terminal listing covers Cloud Run itself
GPUs
One GPU per instance, NVIDIA L4 (24 GB) or RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (96 GB), attached to one container
Regions
L4 in regions including europe-west1, europe-west4, asia-southeast1 and asia-south1 (by invitation); RTX PRO 6000 in us-central1, europe-west4, asia-southeast1 and asia-south2, among others listed on the GPU page
Zonal redundancy
On by default for new services, reserving GPU capacity across zones for failover at a higher price; off is cheaper and fails over on a best-effort basis
Billing
Instance-based billing only, for the whole instance lifecycle. Minimum instances bill at the full rate while idle. No per-request fees
Model loading
The best-practices page recommends downloading models from Cloud Storage at startup in parallel, and keeping models in the image only below about 10 GB

Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • Scales to zero, bills per second, and instances with drivers start in about 5 seconds
  • SLA of 99.95% with zonal redundancy and 99.5% without, plus Google's status feed
  • IAM roles for deploying and invoking, Cloud Audit Logs and services that can require authentication
  • Per-second prices public, L4 from about $0.67 a GPU-hour without zonal redundancy
  • The same GPU option on services, jobs (up to 12 hours) and worker pools

Weaknesses

  • One GPU per instance, L4 (24 GB) or RTX PRO 6000 (96 GB) only, so large models don't fit
  • Default quota is 3 GPUs a region; more needs a quota request
  • Model load time comes on top of the 5-second start, and minimum instances bill while idle
  • No free GPU tier, and the trial credit needs a payment method
  • Google's APIs accept OAuth tokens in a URL query parameter

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Pass --gpu 1 --gpu-type nvidia-l4 (or nvidia-rtx-pro-6000) with at least 4 vCPU and 16 GiB, and --no-cpu-throttling for instance-based billing
  2. Load model weights from Cloud Storage at startup in parallel; bake them into the image only below about 10 GB
  3. Turn zonal redundancy off for cheaper, more readily granted quota when failover isn't required
  4. Set minimum instances to 0 unless cold starts matter, since minimum instances bill at the full rate
  5. Send OAuth tokens in the Authorization header, never as access_token in the URL

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The endpoints are on googleapis.com, Google's API domain. Docs are on docs.cloud.google.com.

Legal entity, terms, privacy notice and security.txt as on the Google Cloud Document AI listing, checked 1 November 2026, and not re-read for this listing.

docs.cloud.google.com/robots.txt and cloud.google.com/robots.txt allow the Cloud Run pages read; status.cloud.google.com/robots.txt allows everything.

The Cloud Run SLA lists GPU services separately, 99.95% with zonal redundancy and 99.5% without (https://cloud.google.com/run/sla).

Notable

  • Instances with an L4 or RTX PRO 6000 GPU and drivers pre-installed start in about 5 seconds, before the container loads its model, per the GPU page source
  • GPU services became generally available on 7 April 2025 and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell support on 13 April 2026; jobs with GPUs can run up to 12 hours since 30 October 2026, per the release notes source
  • A project gets 3 GPUs of quota per region (zonal redundancy off) on its first GPU deployment, and more needs a quota request; quota without zonal redundancy is granted more readily source
  • The SLA gives GPU services 99.95% monthly uptime with zonal redundancy and 99.5% without source
  • The Google Cloud incident feed names Cloud Run in three multi-product incidents from 8 August to 6 November 2026, among them a service outage on 20 August (15:40 to 19:20 UTC) source

In the 90 days from 8 August 2026 the feed names Cloud Run in three multi-product incidents, a service outage on 20 August (15:40 to 19:20 UTC, 27 products, global and us-west1), a network degradation in us-central1-b on 1 September and a europe-west2 disruption on 20 October. One major (10). Resource limits and GPU quota are published with numbers (3 GPUs a region by default), but no request rate for the Admin API was found on the quotas page (10). Google's client libraries retry with backoff and the Admin API takes etags, while no GPU-specific retry guidance was found (10). An SLA for GPU services, 99.95% with zonal redundancy and 99.5% without (10). GPU services generally available since 7 April 2025 (10). 20+10+10+10+10+10 = 70.

The GPU page says when to turn zonal redundancy on or off and the best-practices page when to bake models into images or load them from Cloud Storage (16). The GPU type is a free string in a node selector, with CPU and memory minimums stated in prose (9). gcloud, YAML, Terraform and console steps on each page, and errors follow Google's status model with no Cloud Run GPU error list (11).

Revisions are immutable, traffic can be moved back, and etags guard updates, but no idempotency key on create (12).

  1. Graded 68.4 B methodology v0.7

Fix list 12 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Cloud Run GPUs. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • unchecked: rate limits on the Cloud Run Admin API, which the quotas page read doesn't give
  • The Google Cloud terms, privacy notice and security.txt were not re-read for this listing; the provenance follows the Document AI check of 1 November 2026
  • The status feed doesn't break incidents down by GPU, so how the three Cloud Run incidents affected GPU instances is not known
