GPU Economy - cloud GPU prices

Buy or rent a GPU — A card's new retail price (median of 3+ sellers) against its live on-demand rental rates: months of rental, at the cheapest rate card and at the median, that equal the purchase price, at 100%, 70%, 50% and 25% of a 730-hour month. Rental fee only - power, hosting, the server around the card and resale are not counted. Without gpu, every card that has a retail median.

What a 1- or 3-year commitment saves — Committed and spot rates for one GPU (or every GPU) set against the same provider's own on-demand rate for the same card, region and price scope - the pairs behind the site's typical discount - with the median per term across every card. A commitment is paid whether the GPU runs or not.

Compare two GPUs — Two GPU models side by side: VRAM, median rate card and panel size, cheapest on-demand rate, price per GB of VRAM, retail median where one exists, and every provider that lists both on-demand with the signed difference. Live quotes only.

Compare two providers — Two providers on every GPU both list on-demand today: each side's cheapest on-demand rate card, the difference and which is lower, and the count. Community capacity and marketplace floors are left out of the comparison. Live quotes only.

Estimate what a workload costs — What N GPUs of one model cost for a number of hours at listed rates: at each of the cheapest rate cards and at the median rate card, with the arithmetic. Rental fee only - storage, network egress, taxes and idle time are not counted - and listed rates, not availability.

Read a GPU Economy page — The text of one GPU Economy page by an id from search (gpu:h100-sxm, provider:runpod, index:h100, reserved, buy-vs-rent): its live rates with read times, as plain text, with the page URL to cite.

Find GPUs that meet a requirement — GPU models that meet a memory and price requirement, cheapest first: for each card its cheapest live on-demand rate card (provider, read time, page), its median rate card and panel size, VRAM and price per GB of VRAM. Community capacity and marketplace floors are out unless the market is set.

Weekly price history of one GPU — Weekly median and cheapest listed on-demand rate for one GPU model, newest week first, from two sources kept apart: our own hourly reads, and a series reconstructed from a public price catalog (second-hand). Each week carries its panel size; read a median against it.

What a provider is and how it is read — One provider: its type (hyperscaler, specialist GPU cloud or marketplace), the regions or tiers it names, how GPU Economy reads its prices (pricing page, API or rendered page), how many GPU models and live quotes it has, a one-line note for a reader, and its cheapest on-demand rate per card. Links its GPU Economy page.

Search GPU Economy pages — Find GPU Economy pages for a query - a GPU, a provider, the price index, reserved rates, buy vs rent. Returns ids for fetch, with each page's title and URL.

Cost per million output tokens (modelled) — Modelled, not measured: a listed GPU-hour rate divided by the output throughput NVIDIA published for that card and model, per million output tokens, at the cheapest live on-demand rate card and at the median, with NVIDIA's run (model, framework, precision, sequence, concurrency, date). Cards are not comparable on it - NVIDIA runs each card differently - and an idle GPU costs the same and produces nothing: a floor, never a bill.
