Hey Fred, We charge a 10% software cost on top of the hourly cost for the AMI. We put a fair bit of engineering time into building, verifying and maintaining it, additionally we offer support for it and will to improve the AMI based on user feedback. I believe there is a lot of value in the image and would still like to add PR to mention it in the docs.
*re: AWS GPUs:*They currently have 4GB of RAM per GPU, and have multi GPU systems as well (4 GPUs). In the very near future AWS intends to add a new GPU instance that will sport more GPUs and RAM per GPU.
