Model-level audit trail
A100 GPU cloud price history
Follow timestamped A100 cloud price observations and actual normalized-rate changes. The history keeps repeated market evidence separate from price moves so a refreshed source is not presented as a new price.
- 2942 timestamped observations in this model slice
- 125 tracked offer identities across 7 providers
- Historical price ranges are calculated from retained observations, not reconstructed marketing claims

Historical snapshots
A100 observed market range by date
Each row summarizes the retained A100 observations for that calendar date. The low, median, and high are descriptive market observations across the tracked offers present in the ledger; they are not forecasts or purchasing recommendations.

MedianObserved range
Observed median movement: -3.8%. $2.3900 → $2.3000 / GPU hr from 2026-08-02 to 2026-09-09. At 730 GPU-hours, that observed median-rate change corresponds to $65.70 lower compute spend. Descriptive snapshot comparison; provider mix can differ, so this is not a matched-cohort index or a savings forecast.
Observed price spread widened by $5.6737/GPU hr. Range width $1.8400 → $7.5137 / GPU hr from 2026-08-02 to 2026-09-09. Relative to each snapshot median, spread width moved from 77.0% to 326.7%, a +249.7 percentage-point change. This compares retained snapshot dispersion; changing provider mix can also change the width.

Use history with current evidence
Validate A100 pricing before treating a past price as actionable
A human review reconciles the observed history with current quotes, capacity evidence, commitments and the costs outside the published GPU-hour rate.
Range movement
How the latest range compares with the first retained snapshot
This comparison describes the coverage retained in this published ledger. A changing provider mix can move the observed range, so the range itself should not be interpreted as a matched-cohort market index. Use the GPU Cloud Price Index for the provider-balanced cohort view.
Latest retained snapshot
2026-09-09
$0.68–$8.19 / GPU hr, median $2.30.
124 tracked offers across 6 providers on that date.
Evidence-only updates
455
Distinct source or evidence changes where the normalized A100 rate did not change. These remain separate from true price moves.
Verified price moves
Latest actual A100 rate changes
These cards include only transitions where the normalized USD-per-GPU-hour rate changed and identify whether the cause was the provider's native price, the ECB reference rate, or both. Source refreshes at the same rate are excluded. The 730 GPU-hour impact multiplies that exact USD-normalized delta by 730 and covers compute only.

Interpretation
Use this history for timing and auditability, not false certainty
Observed market slice
Snapshot ranges depend on the offers retained for A100 on that date. A wider or narrower provider set can move the range even when no matched offer changed price.
Availability is separate
A historical or published price does not prove capacity. Check the A100 decision page's displayed validity deadline and availability evidence before treating a low historical rate as deployable now.
No forecast
Historical movement is not a prediction of future GPU prices. It is an evidence trail for what the approved sources returned and when those observations changed.
