About Pulse

The Weekly Pricing Pulse tracks what changed in published GPU cloud pricing across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, CoreWeave, Lambda, Vultr, Nebius, and Crusoe over the last 7 days. AIForge Works compares each new harvest with the prior week and highlights buyer-relevant movement: comparable on-demand price changes, New Silicon, restored / expanded visibility, Deprecated SKUs, and likely price/SKU rolls.

This is not a live quote, workload-specific recommendation, or personalized account analysis. For workload-specific recommendations, use Cloud Advisor. To inspect neighboring SKUs, regions, or commitment terms, open the Multi-Cloud Pricing Analyzer. To compare your own GPU spend against a comparable floor, use GPU Audit.

Editor's note

The July 20 harvest was another reminder that pricing feeds can move even when the broader market does not. Across the nine providers we track, the AIForge Works cross-provider pricing dataset grew by 6,586 rows to 816,327, with AWS accounting for 6,405 of the increase. Most of those AWS additions were new catalog variants for existing products rather than new instance families. Of that increase, 810 were GPU-pricing rows tied to AWS's G7e family; those rows remain outside the New Silicon count pending completion of the existing specs review. The Global Public Catalog grew by 176 to 109,729 instance listings.

AWS had this week's one confirmed price move. Between AWS's June 30 and July 17 EC2 catalogs, the published on-demand price of the eight-GPU p6-b300.48xlarge in the Atlanta Local Zone fell from $167.3388 to $142.416 per hour for Linux, a 14.9% reduction. The equivalent SUSE, Ubuntu Pro, RHEL, and RHEL HA listings reflect the same underlying reduction. This is a verified price change for one instance family and location, not evidence of broader AWS or market-wide repricing.

For the second week in a row, the public catalog floor was below OCPI for both H200 and B200. H200 widened the gap to $0.61 below a $4.90 index, and B200 widened to $0.45 below a $7.14 index.

Most of the catalog churn was concentrated in Lambda, where 14 previously seen regional listings returned and 34 were no longer visible. Underneath those 48 observations were five configuration changes: one-GPU H100 PCIe listings returned in 13 regions and one A100 listing returned in India, while four- and eight-GPU H100 listings and eight-GPU A100 listings disappeared from some regions but remain visible elsewhere. Vultr had three region-specific listings that were no longer visible. This is a regional catalog reshuffle, not evidence of new capacity or retired hardware.

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 latest reviewed Ornn x ICE OCPI comparison through the July 19, 2026 20:00 UTC reading set, paired with public catalog floors from the July 20 harvest. OCPI remains directional index context, not a live quote and not part of the weekly on-demand movement diff below.

Methodology: This comparison covers publicly listed whole-GPU H100 SXM offers that match the OCPI family. Provider floor prices are shown only when a comparable worldwide H100 family has been reviewed. It excludes fractional vGPU slices, private quotes, negotiated discounts, taxes, provider-specific fees, zero-priced listings, spot/preemptible pricing, and reserved or committed terms. For multi-GPU instances, AIForge Works normalizes the listed hourly instance price to dollars per GPU-hour by dividing by GPU count.
What the floor means: The AIForge Works global floor is the lowest indexed public catalog offer found for this GPU comparison. It is a global catalog-floor benchmark, not a region-matched comparison to OCPI.
Sources and limits: This Pulse uses the July 20, 2026 harvest for public catalog floors and the latest reviewed Ornn x ICE OCPI reading available for comparison, through July 19, 2026 20:00 UTC. OCPI is a transaction-based Ornn x ICE index; AIForge Works floors are independently indexed public catalog offers. This page is informational only: it is not a live quote, availability guarantee, purchase recommendation, or procurement, legal, financial, or technical advice. Verify current provider availability, terms, fees, taxes, discounts, and contract pricing directly with the provider before acting. Full OCPI methodology lives at index.ornn.com.

Week at a glance

All qualifying on-demand price movement this week was in AWS. GCP, Lambda, and Vultr also changed catalog visibility through New Silicon, restored / expanded visibility, and Deprecated SKU entries, shown below.

These movement counts apply only to comparable public-catalog on-demand prices. OCPI is a separate transaction-based market index and is shown independently.

  • AWS reduced the published on-demand price of its eight-GPU p6-b300.48xlarge in the Atlanta Local Zone by 14.6% to 14.9%, depending on operating system. No other provider had a comparable public on-demand GPU price change above the 1% reporting threshold.

Totals-1143750

No buyer-visible GPU catalog additions, removals, or public on-demand price moves above 1% were found this week for Azure, OCI, CoreWeave, Crusoe, and Nebius.

Underlying provider feeds also shifted: OCI (+156 catalog records). After normalizing to comparable GPU offers, purchase terms, and verified hardware specs, those feed-level changes did not alter the public on-demand GPU offers reported in this Pulse.

Offers seen in earlier verified harvests returned to view this week: Lambda (14). Because these provider and SKU combinations appeared in earlier verified harvests, we treat them as restored catalog visibility rather than brand-new silicon launches.

Catalog changes this week

Catalog change counts summarize week-over-week visibility changes in the compared harvests. They show provider + region + instance/SKU observations that became newly visible or no longer visible between harvests. We do not describe these as confirmed capacity launches or retirements unless provider-published sources say so.

New Silicon

1 New Silicon GPU catalog entry was detected across GCP (1). 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.

GCP

1 New Silicon entries
  • New Silicon: GCP A3EC-E212-B35F in Montreal (northamerica-northeast1). L4 24 GB, 1-GPU pack. On-demand instance price: $0.5600/hr ($0.5600/hr per GPU).

Restored / expanded visibility

14 previously seen public GPU catalog observations were visible again this week across Lambda (14).

Each provider and SKU had appeared in an earlier verified comparison; the region shown is where the offer was visible this week. We classify these as restored or expanded catalog visibility, not a new hardware launch, proof of added capacity, or confirmation that the offer is currently orderable.

Deprecated SKUs

37 Deprecated SKU GPU catalog entries were detected across Lambda (34), Vultr (3). 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 visible as that exact SKU in this week's public-catalog comparison, even when a same-instance replacement looks likely; this does not prove the SKU is unavailable to buy.

Methodology

Evidence-through date. Pricing evidence in this issue runs through July 20, 2026. This evidence-through date is recorded separately from the publication date shown in the article header.

What we compared. This Pulse compares last week's harvest (July 13, 2026) against this week's (July 20, 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. 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 and has not been seen in the lookback window. Restored / expanded visibility means the provider and instance/SKU appeared in an earlier verified harvest and is visible again, sometimes in additional regions. Deprecated SKU means the exact provider catalog SKU was present in the prior harvest but absent from this one.

Scope and limits. The generated Pulse diff certifies on-demand movement only. All prices are in US dollars. Catalog entries missing a clean price or verified GPU specs are dropped before comparison. This Pulse compiles publicly published prices and is not a live quote, availability guarantee, or workload-specific advice.

This week's coverage. The July 20, 2026 harvest completed across 9 providers. Across the broader catalog, 5,537,900 raw price observations became 816,327 normalized pricing rows, up 6,586 (+0.8%) week over week. Within that normalized catalog, instance rows increased by 176 (+0.2%) to 109,729. The supporting instance-spec table grew to 2,241,667 rows (up 17,405 (+0.8%)). This Pulse narrowed the catalog to 13,722 comparable public on-demand GPU observations, up 287 (+2.1%), for movement analysis.
