~+40%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
CaveatThe ~40% is SemiAnalysis's one-year contract-index move from $1.70/GPU-hour in October 2025 to $2.35 in March 2026. Silicon Data's separately standardized neocloud H100 index was $2.84/GPU-hour on 2026-10-19; the two are different series.
