Blended pricing = average of spot, on-demand, and 1-year reserved rates across major cloud providers.
Training vs Inference
Training-class GPU pricing rose this week (avg $4.30/hr, +0.5% WoW), while inference-class pricing held steady (avg $0.51/hr, -0.2% WoW).
The training-to-inference price ratio stands at 8.4x — widening 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: Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific trades at a 20% premium to global averages this week, with 31 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($14.75/hr), H200 ($10.06/hr), TRAINIUM ($6.72/hr). The 20% regional premium reflects regional demand dynamics.
