Claims

  • The widely-cited falling GPU price indexes are likely spot price indexes, not term contract pricing.
  • One-year H100 contract prices have risen from a trough of approximately $1.70 per hour to approximately $2.65 per hour as of June 2026.
  • Spot and contract pricing for H100s are currently moving in opposite directions.

Key quotes

The important signal is that this is likely a spot price index not term pricing.
Our neocloud survey for 1-year H100 contract prices have instead climbed from a trough of roughly $1.70 per hour late last year to about $2.65 per hour today.
