Data: Kalshi (KalshiEX LLC) — contract ladders referenced to the Ornn hourly index, snapshot OCT 16 2026 · 11:51 UTC. Nothing is smoothed: each monthly value is its own ladder’s estimate. The lines and bid/ask bands join only quality-passed points; gaps are hollow at their level, unplotted without one; no forward point is current spot or executable.

Daily class aggregates from published Neon quote snapshots, archived through 2026-10-14; their citable series IDs, with each comparison-policy version, are under Cite. A day or class without a comparable quote stays a gap — never interpolated; a median on fewer than 3 venues is drawn as its range (a vertical bar), never as a point on the line, and the tooltip and table view print that range.

Hourly prices retain each venue’s billing model, cheapest first. Observation dates vary by row: unavailable sources retain their last valid quote, never a new observation date. All rows: Provisional — Dated source-page observation; the raw payload is not yet pinned to the archive.

H100 rental price — common questions
Generated from the current datasets — each answer carries its own stamp and updates when the data refreshes.
How much does an H100 cost to rent?
As of the Oct 14, 2026 survey: the big-cloud list price is $6.88/GPU·hr; the typical price (median of 8 specialist clouds) is $3.99/GPU·hr (includes RunPod and Voltage Park, last observed Oct 11, 2026); the marketplace floor is $2.14/GPU·hr. All figures are posted list/ask prices, not transactions.
Where is H100 cheapest to rent?
As of the Oct 14, 2026 survey, Voltage Park lists the cheapest on-demand price at $1.99/GPU·hr (specialist class, last observed Oct 11, 2026). Separately, Vast.ai lists the marketplace floor at $2.14/GPU·hr — variable availability, often interruptible or community hardware, so it is not comparable with on-demand list prices. These are posted list/ask prices, not transactions.
Where does the market expect H100 prices to go?
Market snapshot OCT 16 2026 · 11:51 UTC: Kalshi contract ladders price H100 at $2.87/GPU·hr for Oct ’26 but give no reliable level by Aug ’27 (bids put the median at $1.35 or more, no ask bounds it). Thin markets this session — no reliable front-to-back move: the Aug ’27 point is thin. Forward tenors are market-implied monthly averages referenced to the Ornn hourly index; they are indicative, not executable quotes, and no forward point is current spot.
