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.
