H100 GPU Pricing Report: August 2026

A canonical-data August 2026 report on H100 cloud pricing, CT-H100 constituents, freshness, and sample-composition limits.

This August report is generated from the canonical approved-provider snapshot published Aug 31, 2026. It is a dated market indicator, not a quote or a representation of today’s provider rows.

Market read

August H100 pricing read

The August snapshot records a $5.22 CT-H100 median from 6 providers. The published median is +0.05% versus the final July history point.

  • Median of one deterministically selected, current, reviewed public on-demand H100 price per provider. Quote-only, unavailable, unapproved, superseded, and expired rows are excluded.
  • The headline comparison can reflect both price changes and sample composition, so it is not a pure same-provider market move.
  • The historical series did not preserve row-level constituent IDs for the prior report, so a constant-provider comparison cannot be supported without inventing the prior provider set.

Public on-demand list prices from provider price pages — not negotiated quotes, reserved terms, or spot rates. Each row carries its own source link and price date. How we source, label, and date evidence: methodology.

Composition

How to read the sample

  • The prior history point recorded 6 providers; the August benchmark contains 6.
  • The prior report preserved the sample count but not constituent IDs; exact additions and removals are therefore not claimed.
  • This report preserves the dated sample. Use current H100 pricing for today’s provider rows and benchmark value.

Evidence

Freshness and quality caveats

  • Public list prices are not quotes and do not establish orderable capacity.
  • Availability, region, networking, reservation terms, and minimum cluster size can make two H100 offers economically different.
  • A change in sample composition can move the median even when unchanged provider prices do not move.
  • Hand-maintained rows expire 30 days after editorial review. Automated rows must clear both a successful daily price check and a 180-day editorial review.
