Each point is the daily cross-provider median for this SKU and pricing type (per-provider medians first, so no marketplace’s volume dominates). Gaps are gaps — we don’t interpolate missing data.

Dashed/hollow points before 2026-08-09: archival reconstruction from dated provider pricing-page snapshots (see methodology) — fewer providers, monthly resolution.

Interruptible capacity for the NVIDIA A100 40GB SXM medians $0.69 per GPU-hour against $1.72 on-demand — a 60% discount for work that can be interrupted. The two tiers are different products and are never blended into one number; the chart above plots them as separate series.

NVIDIA A100 40GB SXM, NVIDIA A100 80GB SXM, and NVIDIA A100 40GB PCIe are tracked as separate SKUs — different interconnect, different performance, different market. Comparing them in one number would be wrong, so we don’t.
