Economics

Unit. Every $/petaFLOP-day here divides by dense BF16 throughput. The denominator excludes the extra throughput available with 2:4 structured sparsity. For H100 SXM, the index uses 989.5 TFLOP/s; NVIDIA’s sparsity-inclusive specification is 1,979 TFLOP/s. Using that larger denominator would halve the price per petaFLOP-day.

Refresh cadence. AWS, Azure and Oracle rows are scheduled for daily API refreshes. GCP, CoreWeave and Lambda rows come from manual snapshots of their pricing pages. The Priced column records when each rate was checked.

Coverage. 7 GPU classes are priced here: A100 SXM (37 offerings from 6 providers), H200 SXM (37 offerings from 5 providers, 1 without a published rate), H100 SXM (31 offerings from 6 providers), MI300X (17 offerings from 1 provider), B200 (3 offerings from 3 providers), GB200 (1 offering from 1 provider) and L40S (1 offering from 1 provider). Lambda rows price single-GPU (1×) instances and are labeled as such. The per-GPU rate on Lambda's 8-GPU training nodes is a separate listing and arrives with the next manual snapshot refresh (these rows verified 2026-04-19).
