Weekly Pricing Pulse

About Pulse

The Weekly Pricing Pulse is what changed in published GPU cloud pricing across 9 providers in the last 7 days. Every week, AIForge Works runs a fresh harvest across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, CoreWeave, Lambda, Vultr, Nebius, and Crusoe, diffs the new data against the prior week, and surfaces the moves worth knowing about: biggest price changes on existing comparable entries, New Silicon, Deprecated SKUs, and likely price/SKU rolls.

What the Pulse is NOT: it is not a live quote, not workload-specific advice, and not personalized to your account. The numbers reflect public catalog prices at the moment of harvest. For a live quote, check the provider. For workload-specific recommendations, use Cloud Advisor. To see neighboring SKUs, regions, or commitment terms for any mover that catches your eye, open the Multi-Cloud Pricing Analyzer. For an audit of your own GPU spend against a comparable floor, use GPU Audit.

Editor's note

The June 29 harvest reflects a quiet week on price movement and a noisy one on Lambda's catalog.

No comparable on-demand offers moved more than 1% in either direction across any of the nine tracked providers — the second consecutive week of stable pricing across the workhorse GPU families. AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, CoreWeave, Crusoe, and Nebius held flat on both price and catalog visibility. This week's visible movement is almost entirely a Lambda story: 18 newly visible catalog entries paired against 55 no-longer-visible entries, a net catalog contraction that is worth a watchlist pass if your team has been pricing against specific Lambda SKUs. Vultr showed small symmetric on-demand churn (2 entries each direction) plus one market-unlisted bare-metal listing that is published but not verified as on-demand orderable.

For buyers, two takeaways: stability in the on-demand floor across hyperscalers and most neoclouds means commitment-decision math is unlikely to shift in the near term, and the Lambda catalog contraction is worth a direct check if any Lambda SKU you were planning to procure is no longer visible in the public catalog. The catalog change list below details which entries appeared and disappeared.

Ornn OCPI context

OCPI is the Ornn Cloud Price Index, a transaction-based benchmark for observed GPU cloud pricing that AIForge Works uses as market context alongside public provider catalog floors. This Pulse uses the Ornn x ICE OCPI reading for June 29, 2026 at 20:00 UTC. It compares transaction-based OCPI readings with AIForge Works indexed Public Catalog floors for H100 SXM, H200, B200, and A100 SXM4.

What moved this week

No provider had comparable on-demand offers over the 1% movement threshold. Lambda and Vultr changed catalog visibility through New Silicon and Deprecated SKU entries, shown below. Same-instance SKU rolls are tagged as likely price changes.

• On-demand pricing was quiet this week. We did not find any public on-demand GPU price changes above the 1% reporting threshold; the visible movement is catalog availability.

Top on-demand movers by provider

No comparable offers met the 1% movement threshold for this section.

Up to 5 price observations per provider, ranked by confidence (high-confidence first), then by percentage change. See Methodology for how per-GPU rates and confidence are computed.

Provider roll-up

No change this week: AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, CoreWeave, Crusoe, Nebius.

Existing price changes track comparable provider + region + instance/SKU observations over the 1% movement threshold. New Silicon excludes same-provider, same-geo, same-instance likely SKU rolls. Deprecated SKUs remain exact catalog SKUs no longer visible as purchasable offers.

Catalog changes this week

Catalog change counts are artifact-level visibility changes. They show provider + region + instance/SKU observations that became newly visible or no longer visible between harvests. Provider-level add/remove churn exists for Lambda (18 newly visible, 55 no longer visible); Vultr (3 newly visible, 2 no longer visible), but this comparison did not find same-provider, same-geo, same-instance pairs. We do not describe these as likely SKU rolls unless that exact overlap is present.

New Silicon this week

21 New Silicon GPU catalog entries were detected across Lambda (18), Vultr (3). Entries are grouped by provider so high-volume catalog churn does not hide smaller-provider changes. Vultr's market-unlisted bare-metal entry is displayed as published catalog visibility only and excluded from on-demand floor comparisons.

New Silicon means a provider + region + instance/SKU observation newly visible in this harvest that is not paired with a same-provider, same-geo, same-instance deprecated SKU. It still does not by itself prove net-new capacity or a brand-new accelerator family.

Deprecated SKUs this week

57 Deprecated SKU GPU catalog entries were detected across Lambda (55), Vultr (2). Entries are grouped by provider so high-volume catalog churn does not hide smaller-provider changes.

Deprecated SKU means the exact provider catalog SKU was present in the prior harvest but absent from this one. It is no longer purchasable as that exact SKU in the artifact comparison, even when a same-instance replacement looks likely.

Methodology

What we compared. This Pulse compares last week's harvest (June 22, 2026) against this week's (June 29, 2026). Both harvests run automatically against the same 9 cloud providers.

How we compare prices fairly. Different providers package GPUs differently: some sell single-GPU instances, others sell 8-GPU instances. To compare apples-to-apples, we divide every instance price by the number of GPUs on that instance. All movement percentages in this Pulse are based on that per-GPU hourly rate, not the raw instance price.

What counts as a real move. We only flag price changes greater than 1%. Anything smaller is treated as rounding noise and excluded.

Reserved/committed terms. The generated Pulse diff certifies on-demand movement only. If the editor's note discusses 1-year or 3-year reserved or committed terms, that claim must be reviewed against separate evidence before publication.

Currency. All prices are in US dollars. Catalog entries missing a clean price or verified GPU specs are dropped before comparison.

How we choose summary callouts. The short summary only highlights price moves that are broad enough to read as a market signal. Narrow one-provider movements may still appear in detail tables, but we do not treat them as market-wide repricing.

This week's coverage. All 9 providers reported clean harvests. After normalizing 5.49M raw catalog price observations against verified hardware specs, the broader MPA catalog includes all deployable instance offers. This Pulse narrows that catalog to roughly 14,000 comparable on-demand GPU observations for week-over-week movement analysis.

This Pulse compiles publicly published prices. It is not a live quote and is not workload-specific advice. See the About section at the top for links to AIForge Works pricing and availability tools.
