About this metric
No single GPU tells the whole rental market's story. This index compresses the open marketplace into one number by taking the median configuration's median hourly price across everything listed, from consumer RTX cards through data-center H200s. It answers the plain question: what does an hour of GPU compute cost on the open market right now?
Each ranked configuration on the underlying board carries its own median price per GPU-hour, computed from active positive-price listings. The index is the middle value of those medians, so one scarce flagship or one dumped consumer card cannot drag it around. The construction is deterministic and recomputed at every published snapshot.
Aggregate GPU pricing is a leading indicator for the cost side of the AI economy. Hardware generations, marketplace supply, and demand cycles all show up here before they show up in cloud invoices. Read it alongside the H100 line: when the flagship and the index diverge, the market is repricing the frontier, not compute in general.
