Scrutica Compute Cost Index
Cloud GPU rental prices across on-demand, spot and reserved tiers, with costs per petaFLOP-hour, day and year calculated from peak dense BF16 throughput. The normalization excludes structured sparsity and does not adjust for achieved workload utilization.
Scrutica Compute Cost Index — v2026.5
Release date: 2026-11-12
Documentation revised: 2026-11-12
License: CC-BY-4.0

Version history
- v2026.5, released 2026-11-12. No data change: the CSV is byte-identical to v2026.3 and v2026.4 (SHA-256 9d4ad130620644787a23f75d6b4e8b84ffee19e38782383a8d3ba80dc07180d5). The version number moved with the Sovereign AI Program Index. The Azure rates are those captured on 17 July 2026, including East US’s eight-GPU H100 rate of $102.736 an hour, the Windows price that the correction of 30 October 2026 names; that correction withdraws the Windows rates from the Cost Index, and this file keeps them.
- v2026.4, released 2026-09-25. No data change: the CSV is byte-identical to v2026.3 (SHA-256 9d4ad130620644787a23f75d6b4e8b84ffee19e38782383a8d3ba80dc07180d5). The version number is shared by Scrutica's datasets and moved with the Sovereign AI Program Index.
- v2026.3, released 2026-07-17. One CSV was served under this version.
Coverage
508 instance and pricing-tier observations across 6 providers and 9 accelerator types. Pricing tiers are on-demand, spot, one-year reserved and three-year reserved.
Normalisation
The calculation divides the hourly instance price by its peak dense BF16 throughput in PFLOP/s. Instance throughput is the GPU count multiplied by per-GPU TFLOP/s and divided by 1,000. Multiplying the resulting hourly cost by 24 gives cost per petaFLOP-day; multiplying the day value by 365 gives the year value.
Throughput specifications come from Epoch AI’s ML Hardware data. The calculation excludes structured sparsity and applies no utilization discount, so it prices peak capacity. Reserved prices are expressed as hourly rates for the stated commitment term. Missing inputs leave the normalized cost blank.
Sources and authority tiers
| Source | Authority tier | What it contributes |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Pricing Bulk API | 1 | AWS instance rates |
| Azure Retail Prices API | 1 | Azure instance rates |
| GCP Compute Engine GPU pricing | 1 | Google Cloud instance rates |
| Oracle OCI price list API | 1 | OCI instance rates |
| Lambda pricing page | 1 | Lambda instance rates |
| CoreWeave pricing page | 1 | CoreWeave instance rates |
| ec2.shop JSON API | 2 | Third-party AWS price observations; on-demand prices from this source are blank in the bundle |
| gcloud-compute.com pricing tables | 2 | Third-party Google Cloud price observations |
| Epoch AI ML Hardware | 2 | Compiled accelerator specifications for the dense BF16 throughput denominator |
Refresh path
scripts/package-datasets.ts packages the observations and calculated cost fields in data/processed/cloud_pricing.json. The file’s retrieved_at column dates each observation; the release date identifies the packaged version.
Known limitations
- Spot rates are dated observations and can vary within a day.
- The files cover published rental rates. Negotiated enterprise discounts and the costs of buying and operating hardware require separate data.
- A throughput-normalized price does not account for workload-specific utilization, memory or interconnect requirements.
