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 2 H200 models (h200-nvl, h200-sxm): 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.

H200 Catalog Listing History (30 days)

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 2 variants: NVIDIA H200 SXM, NVIDIA H200 NVL.
