Training vs Inference
Training-class GPU pricing held steady this week (avg $4.21/hr, +0.3% WoW), while inference-class pricing rose (avg $0.54/hr, +2.1% WoW).
The training-to-inference price ratio stands at 7.9x — narrowing compared to last week. The spread remains within its typical range, suggesting balanced demand across training and inference workloads.
Regional Spotlight: South America
South America trades at a 31% premium to global averages this week, with 19 GPU types available across the region. The most expensive GPUs in the region are GB200 ($23.12/hr), H200 ($11.71/hr), H100 ($8.88/hr). The 31% regional premium reflects emerging infrastructure and limited provider competition.
