Where we recommend them

Worth knowing before you sign

  • The public prices take effect 2026-11-16 00:00 UTC; current prices are shown only after login, so today’s rates could not be checked.
  • 1-Click Cluster rates are above the 8x instance rates: H100 $5.54–$6.16 and B200 $8.87–$9.86 per GPU-hour for 2 weeks to 1 year.
  • Backlog rose from $15B to $50B largely on one $35B Anthropic commitment, which concentrates revenue in one customer; buildouts are largely debt-funded (TechCrunch, Oct 2026).
  • IPO reportedly pushed from 2026 to 2027.
  • H200 appears in the pricing page title but has no listed price; B300 and GB300 are sales-only.
