GPUBlended PriceWoW ChangeClass

Blended pricing = average of spot, on-demand, and 1-year reserved rates across major cloud providers.

Training vs Inference

Training-class GPU pricing held steady this week (avg $4.20/hr, +0.0% WoW), while inference-class pricing held steady (avg $0.56/hr, +0.0% WoW).

The training-to-inference price ratio stands at 7.5x — stable compared to last week. The spread remains within its typical range, suggesting balanced demand across training and inference workloads.

Regional Spotlight: Europe

Europe trades at a 6% discount to global averages this week, with 30 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($13.66/hr), H200 ($9.89/hr), H100 ($6.34/hr). The 6% discount makes Europe one of the more cost-effective regions for GPU deployment this week.
