GPU price persistence

A current low listing is not a budget range. This register shows which exact GPU series have enough continuous, rights-cleared published-rate history to support one.

Portfolio result: no supported ranges

Only H100 has completed the first validation tranche, and it failed the evidence gate. The other tracked GPU families have no repository validation record, so their 30-, 90-, and 180-day ranges remain withheld rather than inferred from current listings.

Series register

Every row below is an approved canonical variant from the shared analysis contract. A billing mode creates a separate series; this table does not combine on-demand, spot, interruptible, reservation or capacity block, serverless, or cluster prices.

Why the portfolio is withheld

The July 15, 2026 H100 preflight found zero rights-cleared observations, 41 eligible live days before the rights gate, and at most two providers on any observed day. That is below the requirement of three independent providers on 80% of observed days. No equivalent validation record exists for the other families, so this page makes no claim about their coverage, gaps, provider changes, percentiles, or floor persistence.

Publication rule

A 30-, 90-, or 180-day series is published only when it independently passes the documented continuity, provider-diversity, provenance, and redistribution checks. A passing report will separate the latest cheapest listing from its p25–p75 historically supported published-rate range and disclose calendar coverage, missing intervals, provider entry and exit effects, floor persistence, and verified revisions.

Unknown family labels do not inherit a memory size, form factor, or topology. H100 SXM, PCIe, and NVL remain separate; A100 is split by 40/80 GB and PCIe/SXM; B200 is not combined with GB200; and new or underspecified variants remain excluded until reviewed. Mapping changes start a new dimension version instead of rewriting an earlier analysis.

Interpretation boundary

Even a passing range would describe published rates, not successful deployment probability, startup latency, interruption risk, negotiated transaction price, performance, reliability, ancillary costs, or future prices. See the versioned method and record schema for the exact thresholds and output contract.
