On-demand and secure-cloud rates are capacity the provider runs, with no reservation. Spot and community capacity can be interrupted. A marketplace host is one independent owner's server listed on a marketplace. Prices are per GPU per hour, before storage and data transfer. Every row shows the date it was checked.

Price changes
30 days: +3.5% across 18 matching on-demand configurations since 22 September 2026.
90 days: +4.4% across 18 matching on-demand configurations since 24 July 2026.
Changes use the geometric mean of price ratios for the same provider, variant, tier, GPU count, instance and region (RunPod's place is where that day's stock sat, so it is not matched). New listings are not counted as price changes. Full ledger on the history hub.

A100 prices by provider and billing type
Each provider's cheapest rate in each billing type, per GPU-hour. The provider name opens its A100 page with node sizes, fees and its own history.
These models have an estimated inference footprint within 80 GB at one or more precisions. The scenario uses 4,096 tokens, batch 1, a 16-bit KV cache and 20% runtime headroom. A memory fit does not establish speed or software compatibility.
Qwen3 235B A22B at 16-bit needs about 565 GB with the same context and headroom, so at least 8 cards. The cheapest A100 node with a published size that holds it: 8× at $21.60/hr (CoreWeave, $2.70 per GPU-hour). At 8 or 4 bit it needs less; the model page recalculates.
Qwen3 235B A22B 2507 at 16-bit needs about 565 GB with the same context and headroom, so at least 8 cards. The cheapest A100 node with a published size that holds it: 8× at $21.60/hr (CoreWeave, $2.70 per GPU-hour). At 8 or 4 bit it needs less; the model page recalculates.
Mixtral 8x22B v0.1 at 16-bit needs about 339 GB with the same context and headroom, so at least 5 cards. The cheapest A100 node with a published size that holds it: 8× at $21.60/hr (CoreWeave, $2.70 per GPU-hour). At 8 or 4 bit it needs less; the model page recalculates.
Start from memory: your model, its context and your batch must fit in 80 GB (the model-fit table above estimates it). Then the A100 is the right card unless one of these fits your job better.
Pick the H200 (141 GB, from $3.14/hr) when the model or its cache does not fit in 80 GB.
Pick the H100 (80 GB, from $1.80/hr) when finishing sooner is worth paying more: it has 3.2 times the A100's 16-bit compute.
Confirmed A100 purchase listings start at $7,800 (A100 40GB PCIe, NetworkOutlet, checked 22 October 2026). That sum rents about 8,764 GPU-hours at today's cheapest on-demand rate of $0.89, about 4.2 years at 40 hours a week, before electricity, hosting and resale.
The cheapest A100 rental we have is $0.89 per GPU-hour on Jarvislabs (on-demand), checked 22 October 2026. The median of each provider's cheapest on-demand rate is $1.89 across 16 providers.
Jarvislabs has the cheapest checked on-demand rate today at $0.89 per GPU-hour; interruptible spot or community capacity starts at $0.68 (Microsoft Azure).
