Weekly Pricing Pulse

About Pulse

The Weekly Pricing Pulse presents what changed in published GPU cloud pricing across the 9 tracked providers in the last 7 days. Every week, AIForge Works runs a fresh harvest across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, CoreWeave, Lambda, Vultr, Nebius, and Crusoe, diffs the new data against the prior week, and surfaces the moves worth knowing about: biggest price changes on existing comparable entries, New Silicon, Deprecated SKUs, and likely price/SKU rolls.

What the Pulse is NOT: it is not a live quote, and it is not workload-specific advice. The numbers reflect public catalog prices at the moment of harvest. For a live quote, check the provider. Within AIForge Works, use Cloud Advisor for workload-specific recommendations, open the Multi-Cloud Pricing Analyzer to see neighboring SKUs, regions, or commitment terms for any mover that catches your eye, and use GPU Audit to compare your own GPU spend against a comparable floor.

Editor's note

June 15 is a narrower but cleaner pricing signal: the qualifying on-demand movement is concentrated in Crusoe, where L40S rows moved sharply and A100 rows also changed, while the rest of the provider set is mostly catalog visibility. CoreWeave, AWS, Lambda, and Vultr all changed what appears in the public catalog comparison, but we are not treating every newly visible row as new capacity; rows that need source-backed disposition stay out of the published tables until they clear review. For buyers, the action item is straightforward: refresh Crusoe assumptions before quoting L40S or A100 workloads, and use the New Silicon and Deprecated SKU sections as a watchlist for catalog availability rather than as a capacity announcement.

Ornn OCPI context

OCPI is the Ornn Cloud Price Index, a transaction-based benchmark for observed GPU cloud pricing that AIForge Works uses as market context alongside public provider catalog floors.

This Pulse uses the Ornn x ICE OCPI reading for June 15, 2026 at 20:00 UTC. It compares transaction-based OCPI readings with AIForge Works indexed Public Catalog floors and explicitly audited catalog ranges where available for H100 SXM, H200, B200, and A100 SXM4.

Read this section as directional index context, not a live quote, not a June 15 repricing claim, not a geography-matched procurement claim, and not part of the weekly on-demand movement diff below.

What moved this week

All qualifying on-demand price movement this week was in Crusoe. AWS, CoreWeave, Lambda, Vultr also changed catalog visibility through New Silicon and Deprecated SKU entries, shown below. Same-instance SKU rolls are tagged as likely price changes.

• Crusoe L40S 48 GB increased 50.0% in US East (New York) and US South (Texas), from $1.00 to $1.50 per GPU-hour across the 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, and 10x entries.
• Crusoe A100 80 GB standard entries increased 21.2% in US East (New York) and US West (California), from $1.65 to $2.00 per GPU-hour across the 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x entries.
• Crusoe A100 80 GB SXM IB 8x increased 17.9% in US East (New York), from $1.95 to $2.30 per GPU-hour.

Top on-demand movers by provider

Crusoe

19 high-confidence Crusoe price entries moved >1%. Grouped below by GPU, region, and uniform per-GPU movement so repeated instance sizes do not hide the market signal.

Up to 5 price observations per provider, ranked by confidence (high-confidence first), then by percentage change. See Methodology for how per-GPU rates and confidence are computed.

Provider roll-up

No change this week: Azure, GCP, OCI, Nebius.

Existing price changes track comparable provider + region + instance/SKU observations over the 1% movement threshold. New Silicon excludes same-provider, same-geo, same-instance likely SKU rolls. Deprecated SKUs remain exact catalog SKUs no longer visible as purchasable rows.

Catalog changes this week

Catalog change counts are artifact-level visibility changes. They show provider + region + instance/SKU observations that became newly visible or no longer visible between harvests. Provider-level add/remove churn exists for Lambda (16 newly visible, 51 no longer visible); Vultr (4 newly visible, 4 no longer visible), but this comparison did not find same-provider, same-geo, same-instance pairs. We do not describe these as likely SKU rolls unless that exact overlap is present.

New Silicon this week

33 New Silicon on-demand GPU catalog entries were detected across AWS (5), CoreWeave (8), Lambda (16), Vultr (4). Entries are grouped by provider so high-volume catalog churn does not hide smaller-provider changes.

New Silicon means a provider + region + instance/SKU observation newly visible in this harvest that is not paired with a same-provider, same-geo, same-instance deprecated SKU. It still does not by itself prove net-new capacity or a brand-new accelerator family.

Deprecated SKUs this week

55 Deprecated SKU on-demand GPU catalog entries were detected across Lambda (51), Vultr (4). Entries are grouped by provider so high-volume catalog churn does not hide smaller-provider changes.

Deprecated SKU means the exact provider catalog SKU was present in the prior harvest but absent from this one. It is no longer purchasable as that exact SKU in the artifact comparison, even when a same-instance replacement looks likely.

Methodology

What we compared. This Pulse compares last week's harvest (June 8, 2026) against this week's (June 15, 2026). Both harvests run automatically against the same 9 cloud providers.

How we compare prices fairly. Different providers package GPUs differently: some sell single-GPU instances, others sell 8-GPU instances. To compare apples-to-apples, we divide every instance price by the number of GPUs on that instance. All movement percentages in this Pulse are based on that per-GPU hourly rate, not the raw instance price.

What counts as a real move. We only flag price changes greater than 1%. Anything smaller is treated as rounding noise and excluded.

Reserved/committed terms. The generated Pulse diff certifies on-demand movement only. If the editor's note discusses 1-year or 3-year reserved or committed terms, that claim must be reviewed against separate evidence before publication.

Currency. All prices are in US dollars. Catalog entries missing a clean price or verified GPU specs are dropped before comparison.

How we choose summary callouts. The short summary only highlights price moves that are broad enough to read as a market signal. Narrow one-provider movements may still appear in detail tables, but we do not treat them as market-wide repricing.

This week's coverage. All 9 providers reported clean harvests. After normalizing 5.47M raw catalog price observations against verified hardware specs, the broader MPA catalog includes all deployable instance offers. This Pulse narrows that catalog to roughly 14,000 comparable on-demand GPU observations for week-over-week movement analysis.

This Pulse compiles publicly published prices. It is not a live quote and is not workload-specific advice. See the About section at the top for links to AIForge Works pricing and availability tools.
