One row per captured day (00:05 UTC). Cheapest is the lowest secure on-demand price per GPU-hour reported in stock by a provider with live stock tracking; median is the median of those offers. Rows combine 3 H100 models (h100-nvl, h100-pcie-80gb, h100-sxm-80gb): cheapest is the lowest across them, median is the median of the per-model medians, and the provider count is the largest single-model count, so it is a floor. Days without a capture are not shown. Method and full series: Cloud GPU Price Index.

Catalog listings, not live prices.

These averages are of every tracked catalog listing, including spot, reserved, out-of-stock and older rows. They do not measure live on-demand prices or availability (the daily price history table above does that) and cannot establish savings against the current offers. Each day averages its recorded catalog snapshots; the median gives each day equal weight. Missing days are excluded. Figures combine 3 variants: NVIDIA H100 SXM5, NVIDIA H100 PCIe, NVIDIA H100 NVL.
