Beam: Public pricing page, parsed. Per-GPU price is the listed per-GPU rate, or the node price divided by GPU count. Prices near reserved, committed or contract terms are discarded; anything outside a plausible range for the GPU is discarded. Oracle Cloud: OCI's public price-list API (the cost estimator's feed), pay-as-you-go, per GPU-hour as listed. One price worldwide. Both are read every six hours; nothing is estimated.
