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 $4.29/hr, +0.0% WoW), while inference-class pricing held steady (avg $0.52/hr, +0.0% 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: South America
South America trades at a 30% premium to global averages this week, with 19 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($23.02/hr), H200 ($11.43/hr), H100 ($9.13/hr). The 30% regional premium reflects emerging infrastructure and limited provider competition.
