Lightning AI, formerly Voltage Park. E012 now qualifies at $4.50 per GPU-hour for a regular single-GPU H100 80 GB offer. The prior excluded monitoring figure is not an admissible movement basis, so no price movement is stated for E012. Interruptible rates do not enter the panel.
RunPod. The Secure Cloud H100 SXM rate moved from $2.99 to $3.29, +$0.30 or +10.03%.
The SVCI increased to 104.1, while coverage improved because E012 moved from excluded to priced.
Issue 008 is a Track 1 full sweep. All twenty-seven panel entries were freshly reviewed. Eleven providers were freshly captured and excluded. No Issue 007 exclusion disposition was reused as the Issue 008 evidence basis.
Vast.ai and Spheron remain outside the median as dynamic marketplaces. TensorDock is excluded because independent hosts set staggered prices and low-end availability is not guaranteed. Shadeform is excluded as an aggregator of third-party cloud prices. ChronoScale and other sales-led providers without a fixed public comparable rate are captured but not estimated.
The SVCI observes logged-out, public, fixed, on-demand rates for the H100 SXM 80GB-class anchor. Spot, interruptible, reserved, committed, starting-at, marketplace-floor, supplier-variable, quote-only and aggregator passthrough figures do not substitute for a comparable provider-owned rate. Full-machine prices are normalized to per-GPU in recorded arithmetic. Issue 008 requires no new methodology amendment.
The structured data, calculation report, public ledger and selected evidence manifest are published below. The complete byte-level screenshot archive remains private.
Sixteen fresh priced observations enter the medians. Eleven fresh captured exclusions do not. No row is pending.
