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. See the full methodology.
