Cloud GPU market, October 2026
A review generated from our own hourly scrape, not written by hand: 4 weekly points, week of October 5, 2026 to week of October 26, 2026. See the methodology for how the index is built.
Frozen on : these figures are the ones first published for October 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
- The month’s figure: the monthly average of the hourly index over October 2026, $4.197302 per H100 GPU-hour (final, 750 points over 744 hours, a panel of 17 pairs fixed before the month) - defined in the specification.
- At the end of October 2026, 38 providers listed an on-demand H100 SXM rate in the panel (40 quotes), against 29 a month earlier. The month’s last weekly point is the week of October 26, 2026 to November 1, 2026, which had not closed when the month was frozen: its figures are that week’s level as read on — provisional at freeze, not the week’s close.
- The base-100 H100 index closed October 2026 at 106.4; it rose 3.7% from 102.6 at the end of September 2026, and stands above the base week of September 7, 2026 (= 100) by 6.4%. The index moves only when a provider’s listed price changes, never when the panel does.
- The dollar median stood at $3.39 per H100 GPU-hour across 38 providers, against $3.49 across 29 a month earlier. Read the median as a level with its panel size; a provider joining or leaving moves it.
- Largest fall: EmpirioLabs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 from $1.30 to $0.40 per GPU-hour (−69.2%) in the week of October 12, 2026 (source).
- Largest rise: Edgevana NVIDIA RTX A4000 from $0.09 to $1.16 per GPU-hour (+1188.9%) in the week of October 12, 2026 (source).
- Cheapest listed on-demand rates in the week of October 26, 2026: NVIDIA H100 SXM $1.79 on Cudo Compute (no-kristiansand-1) (source); NVIDIA H200 $2.09 on Beam (source); NVIDIA B200 $4.11 on Beam (source).
