The median H100 SXM spot rate moved from $3.20 to $3.25 per GPU-hour week-over-week, a 1.6% increase according to AIMC observations. That headline figure, however, compresses meaningful dispersion across individual marketplaces: at the time of measurement, listed rates for the same SKU ranged from below $3.00 to above $3.50 depending on platform, contract structure, and available inventory depth. The analysis that follows disaggregates that spread by marketplace, documenting where H100 SXM is currently priced, how individual platforms have moved relative to the prior week, and how wide the gap between the lowest and highest available rates has become. All figures reflect observed listings; no adjustments for utilization guarantees or commitment discounts have been applied.

Spread Analysis
Across the 21 marketplaces carrying H100 SXM this week, the observed median ranged from $1.89/hr at upcloud to $10.00/hr at huggingface — a 5.3x spread between the lowest and highest median. Intra-SKU spreads of this magnitude reflect differences in commitment terms, regional availability, and how aggressively each provider is positioning the same hardware, rather than differences in the silicon itself. AIMC reports each marketplace's observed median independently and does not blend them into a single figure that would mask this dispersion — the spread itself is part of what the market is telling you.
Observation depth for H100 SXM this week totaled 371 listings across 21 marketplaces. Marketplaces with deeper listing counts contribute more stable medians; those represented by a single listing are shown for completeness but carry correspondingly less weight in interpreting where H100 SXM is clearing.
What This Means
The H100 SXM posted a +1.6% week-over-week gain in median pricing, but that headline figure tells only a small part of this week's story. What the data suggests is far more revealing at the distributional level than at the midpoint. Ai Mining Co. tracked 21 distinct marketplace listings for the H100 SXM this week, and the spread between the lowest and highest observed median prices reached 5.3x — from $1.89 per hour on Upcloud to $10.00 per hour on Hugging Face. A range of this width, across a single SKU within a single week, points to something the aggregate median cannot capture: the H100 SXM is not trading in a unified market. What we observe instead is a set of fragmented pricing environments that likely reflect meaningful structural differences between providers — differences in contract commitment length, geographic availability, bundled services, or access model — though the data alone cannot confirm which of these factors is driving any individual listing's position within that range.
AIMC's data shows that the majority of the 21 tracked marketplaces clustered between roughly $2 and $5 per hour, with the upper range — listings at or above $7 — representing a smaller subset of providers. The presence of Hugging Face at $10.00 alongside Upcloud at $1.89 within the same reporting window suggests that the label "H100 SXM" is functioning as an umbrella across meaningfully different access conditions. A low-end listing may reflect spot or preemptible capacity, a high-end listing may carry on-demand guarantees or embedded platform tooling — but again, the data describes the pricing outcome, not the contract mechanics behind it. What we can say with confidence is that a buyer navigating this market encounters a 5.3x decision range depending on which door they enter, and that the 21-marketplace sample is wide enough to treat that spread as a structural feature of this SKU's current market, not an anomaly.
One week of data is a snapshot, not a trend. The +1.6% median movement and the 5.3x dispersion described here characterize conditions as observed during this specific reporting period, and either figure could look materially different in subsequent weeks depending on capacity shifts, new entrants, or changes in provider pricing strategy. What this week's data establishes is a baseline picture of H100 SXM pricing fragmentation — notable in its breadth across 21 marketplaces — that future reporting periods can be measured against.
