Cloud GPU Price Index: H100, weekly (GPU Economy)

GPU Economy's Cloud GPU Price Index for the NVIDIA H100: the price of one H100 GPU-hour on the rate cards of the cloud providers GPU Economy reads, one row per week (Monday to Sunday, UTC), with the hyperscaler and specialist-cloud series, the 25th and 75th percentiles, how many quotes and providers each week rests on, and whether the week is provisional or final. Version 1 holds nine weekly records from September 7 through November 2, 2026, including the provisional week of November 2.

Published by GPU Economy (https://gpueconomy.com); WITAN runs the publishing job on their behalf.

## Each version is that week's file

Once a week, after the last week has turned final (Monday, about 06:00 UTC), WITAN reads GPU Economy's file https://gpueconomy.com/price-index.csv and publishes it **whole** as the next version: every row as it stood that week, revised rows and provisional weeks included. A version is exactly that week's file; nothing is appended, filled in or carried over. Its `asOf` is the day it was read.

The diff between two versions (`GET /projects/gpueconomy-h100-price-index/diff?from=N&to=M`, or the MCP tool dataset_diff) pairs rows by `week_start`: a new week is *added*, a week whose values moved — the provisional week turned final, for one — is *changed*, with its values before and after.
