No matter what type of machine you use your billing rate will always be the same ($0.12 per CPU hour). The only difference is the amount of resources you have access to. The following table shows the different types of machines available on the cluster.

CPUsRAM (GB)Hourly CostMonthly Cost
27.5$0.24$175.2
415$0.48$350.4
830$0.96$700.8
1660$1.92$1401.6

Machine types can be specified when you launch a deployment via the CLI; if no machine type is specific the default is 2 CPUs and 7.5 GB of RAM. For example, to launch a deployment with 8 CPUs you would run the following command:

launch deployments submit --num-cpus=8

Specifying a machine type is not currently supported in the VS Code extension and the default of two will be used.
