Cloud GPU market, August 2026

A review generated from the history reconstructed from a public price catalog, not written by hand: 5 weekly points, week of August 3, 2026 to week of August 31, 2026. Second-hand data: we vouch that the catalog published each number on that date; every figure links to the exact commit. See the methodology for how the index is built.

Frozen on September 11, 2026: these figures are the ones first published for August 2026 and are not recomputed as the data changes. If a later recomputation reads differently, the difference is listed at the end of the page with its date, and nothing above is replaced. Every month as data: /market/months.json.

In numbers

• At the end of August 2026, 7 providers listed an on-demand H100 SXM rate in the panel (7 quotes), against 7 a month earlier. The month’s last weekly point is the week of August 31, 2026 to September 6, 2026, which had not closed when the month was frozen: its figures are that week’s level as read on September 6, 2026 — provisional at freeze, not the week’s close.
• The base-100 H100 index closed August 2026 at 76.4; it rose 2.6% from 74.5 at the end of July 2026, and stands below the base week of January 6, 2025 (= 100) by 23.6%. The index moves only when a provider’s listed price changes, never when the panel does.
• The dollar median stood at $3.85 per H100 GPU-hour across 7 providers, against $3.85 across 7 a month earlier. Read the median as a level with its panel size; a provider joining or leaving moves it.
• Largest rise: Google Cloud (us-central1) NVIDIA A100 80GB from $1.85 to $3.93 per GPU-hour (+112.8%) in the week of August 10, 2026 (source).
• Cheapest listed on-demand rates in the week of August 31, 2026: NVIDIA H100 SXM $1.82 on Cudo Compute (no-kristiansand-1) (source); NVIDIA H200 $4.00 on Verda (FIN-02) (source); NVIDIA B200 $6.11 on Verda (FIN-03) (source).
