## Cost comparison
BudgetML uses Google Cloud Preemptible instances under-the-hood to reduce costs by 80%. This can potentially mean hundreds of dollars 
worth of savings. Here is a screenshot of the `e2-highmem` GCP series, which is regular family of instances to be using for 
memory intense tasks like ML model inference functions. See the following price comparison (as of Jan 31, 2021 [[source](https://cloud.google.com/compute/vm-instance-pricing)])



Even with the lowest machine_type, there is a **$46/month** savings, and with the highest configuration this is **$370/month** savings!

## Installation
BudgetML is available for easy installation into your environment via PyPI:
```bash
pip install budgetml
```
Alternatively, if you’re feeling brave, feel free to install the bleeding edge:

**NOTE:** Do so at your own risk; no guarantees given!
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/ebhy/budgetml.git@main --upgrade
```
