down 0.4% across the last seven daily observations
Every value below was read from a public page on July 27, 2026. Listings are live documents and can change after capture. “Not captured” marks a field Teraplex did not record from that page on that date; it is not a statement about what the publisher did or did not show.
Price index
Ornn’s H100 SXM daily index printed $2.72 per GPU-hour on July 27. Across its last seven daily observations, the index moved from $2.73 to $2.72, a 0.4% decline. Ornn public history.
Ornn defines this global index as a weighted average of verified compute transactions in US dollars per GPU-hour. The daily value is an aggregate of hourly observations. Ornn price-index methodology.
Public capacity watch
| GPU | Public capacity record | Listed rate | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| H100 SXM | 8 GPUs, 1 node, US, 12-month minimum; availability not captured | $2.41/GPU-hour | Impossible Cloud |
| GB300 | 1,152 GPUs, 16 nodes, US, available September 30, 2026, 36-month minimum | $4.32/GPU-hour | Impossible Cloud |
| B300 SXM6 | 512-GPU example, three-year reserved term; region and availability not captured | $5.00/GPU-hour | Prime Intellect |
These rows cover different hardware generations, cluster sizes, availability fields, regions and terms. Ornn is a transaction index. The other figures are provider list or example prices. The table does not establish a market average or an achievable quote.
Site-owner read
This section is Teraplex’s own reading method for these records. No published standard or industry convention defines it. We treat a GPU-hour rate as usable in a powered-site plan only when the same record also preserves six fields:
- GPU model
- Cluster size
- Region
- Availability date
- Minimum term
- Interconnect
Recording those six fields next to the rate is what keeps an index, an on-page listing and a reserved-cluster example distinguishable from one another before any rate enters an infrastructure or revenue model.
