Historical corrections (1)
July 29, 2026 – August 6, 2026 (8 daily values): CT-H100 was published at $6.52 across 4 providers. The corrected value is $5.22 across 6 providers.
A single 30-day editorial-review clock dropped Crusoe and Lambda from the eligible sample on 2026-07-29. Both rows were being re-scraped and confirmed unchanged every morning, and neither price moved during the affected window; only the review metadata had lapsed. Because review expiry sheds cheap long-tail neoclouds faster than vendor-fed hyperscalers, the surviving four-provider sample was biased upward.
All six constituents were re-verified live on 2026-08-07 and every price reconciled unchanged. Editorial review was renewed and the eligibility gate now runs separate clocks for automated price checks and editorial review.

How it's built
How the index is built
The headline is a raw median of verified on-demand H100 list prices — one per provider, each checked against the provider's public price page and normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate. The spot and blended H100-equivalent figures are normalized estimates derived from public provider data, shown for context and clearly labeled as estimates — never presented as quoted prices.
