Google Cloud Run added dedicated singleton instances; continuous one-vCPU, one-gibibyte operation costs $5.70 for 30 days.

Google Cloud introduced dedicated singleton compute runtimes for Cloud Run. Unlike runtimes that shut down when idle, these instances are designed to remain active continuously.
Google stated that operating one Cloud Run instance with one virtual central processing unit and one gibibyte of memory continuously for 30 days costs $5.70. The figure is tied to that specific resource configuration and operating period.
Google positioned the instances as infrastructure for personal AI agents that require continuously available compute at low cost. The supplied source does not provide regional price differences, networking or storage charges, accelerator support, service-level terms, or limits on the singleton configuration.
