Training vs Inference
Training-class GPU pricing held steady this week (avg $4.31/hr, +0.1% 7d), while inference-class pricing rose (avg $0.52/hr, +1.5% 7d).
The training-to-inference price ratio stands at 8.4x — narrowing 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: Oceania
Oceania trades at a 22% premium to global averages this week, with 21 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($16.42/hr), H200 ($9.62/hr), H100 ($7.22/hr). The 22% regional premium reflects regional demand dynamics.

Implications
For GPU investors: V100 currently offers the shortest payback period at 2.6 months (at 70% utilisation). Watch B200 where rising prices are shortening the window for buyers. Model your scenarios →
For cloud buyers: Asia Pacific continues to offer the lowest average GPU pricing ($2.19/hr blended average). For workloads with regional flexibility, the gap between Asia Pacific and Middle East is $1.90/hr — a 86% premium. Compare regional pricing →
For semiconductor analysts: GPU pricing trends remain broadly stable this week. H100 (-0.1% 7d) and MI300X (-0.1% 7d) are tracking within normal ranges. Blackwell (B200) blended pricing at $7.23/hr (+1.2% 7d) provides an early read on next-generation adoption curves. View all GPU profiles →
