Training vs Inference
Training-class GPU pricing held steady this week (avg $4.29/hr, -0.4% WoW), while inference-class pricing fell (avg $0.52/hr, -0.5% 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 5% discount to global averages this week, with 34 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($14.80/hr), H200 ($10.74/hr), TPU_V7 ($10.47/hr).
