Vast.ai
the lowest numbers in the category, on a peer marketplace where the number is a floor rather than a price.
genuinely the cheapest way to get an h100 if you treat it as a market rather than a vendor — the trade is that nothing about the price, host or bandwidth is fixed.
vast.ai advertises h100 sxm from $1.92 and pcie from $1.72, with interruptible listings described as 50%+ cheaper again. billing is per second with no minimum hours and no rounding, which is the strictest granularity here.
the important qualification is that this is a peer-hosted marketplace, not a cloud with a price list. those figures are floors that move with supply and demand, individual hosts set their own terms, and some listings quote a rate 'plus bandwidth' without publishing what bandwidth costs. we could not confirm live rates because the pricing console renders through javascript.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
