Fluid Compute now uses Active CPU pricing
Vercel Functions on Fluid Compute now charge only for active CPU time instead of provisioned resources, eliminating idle-time costs. This significantly reduces expenses for workloads like LLM inference and long-running AI agents, with pricing starting at $0.128 per active CPU hour.
Vercel Functions on Fluid Compute now use Active CPU pricing, which charges for CPU only while it is actively doing work. This eliminates costs during idle time and reduces spend for workloads like LLM inference, long-running AI agents, or any task with idle time.
Active CPU pricing is built on three core metrics:
An example of this in action:
A function running Standardmachine size at 100% active CPU would now cost ~$0.149 per hour (1 Active CPU hour + 2 GB of provisioned memory). Previously this would have cost $0.31842 per hour (1.7 GB Memory × $0.18).
Active CPU pricing is now enabled by default for all Hobby, Pro, and new Enterprise teams. For existing Enterprise customers, availability depends on your current plan configuration.
This change takes effect after a redeploy.
