- Median rental rates $3.3‑$3.6 per GPU‑hour, on‑demand $3.49, up 79% from 2025 lows
- Secondary market prices $25k‑$40k; hyperscalers charge 1.7x‑2.7x premium
Rental rates for the H100 have rebounded. As of mid‑October 2026, median rental rates range from $3.3 to $3.6 per GPU‑hour, with on‑demand rates at $3.49 per GPU‑hour. Compared to 2025 lows, rental prices have risen 79% in some indices, or 13% in others.
