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 $4.25/hr, +0.3% WoW), while inference-class pricing held steady (avg $0.51/hr, +0.4% WoW).
The training-to-inference price ratio stands at 8.3x — stable compared to last week. The elevated spread suggests strong demand for training compute relative to inference, consistent with ongoing large model training activity.
Regional Spotlight: Europe
Europe trades at a 4% discount to global averages this week, with 34 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($14.81/hr), H200 ($10.85/hr), H100 ($6.60/hr).

Implications
For cloud buyers: Europe continues to offer the lowest average GPU pricing ($1.99/hr blended average). For workloads with regional flexibility, the gap between Europe and Middle East is $2.05/hr — a 103% premium. Compare regional pricing →
For semiconductor analysts: GPU pricing trends remain broadly stable this week. H100 (-0.4% WoW) and MI300X (+0.3% WoW) are tracking within normal ranges. Blackwell (B200) blended pricing at $7.29/hr (+1.0% WoW) provides an early read on next-generation adoption curves. View all GPU profiles →
