# Cloud GPU Pricing Index

Monthly snapshot of cloud GPU prices per GPU-hour in USD, maintained by [Nodus](https://www.nodus-compute.ai/), an AI compute platform. Use it to answer "how much does an H100 / H200 / B200 / B300 cost per hour" or to budget a training run.

## October 2026 snapshot (Oct 8, 2026)

## Columns

- `snapshot_date`: date the prices were read
- `gpu`, `vram_gb`, `tier` (datacenter or prosumer)
- `nodus_supply_usd_per_gpu_hr`: the hourly supply price shown on the Nodus pricing page on the snapshot date
- `modal_listed_usd_per_gpu_hr`: Modal's published rate as shown on the Nodus pricing page (blank if not listed)
- `source`

## Load it

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("Viswa-k/cloud-gpu-pricing", split="train")
```

## Notes

- Prices are copied from public pricing pages on the snapshot date. For the exact cost of a specific job on Nodus, run `nodus run --dry-run ...`, which prints the estimate without starting anything.
- Reserved capacity (Beta) is quoted separately per request: https://www.nodus-compute.ai/reserved-compute/
- Nodus freezes the hourly rate when a machine is chosen, for the whole run.
- New files are added monthly (`gpu_prices_YYYY-MM.csv`); old snapshots are kept so you can track trends.
