Cloud GPU prices and separate Akash marketplace bids

Two separate series, never blended: AWS, Azure and Google Cloud list/spot prices, and Akash marketplace bids. Latest cloud snapshot: 2026-10-29T05:39:15Z (389 rows). Cloud history: 2026-10-13 through 2026-10-29 (17 recorded days, 5109 rows). Latest Akash reading: 2026-10-29T05:39:41Z (21 chips). Akash history starts 2026-10-17 (13 recorded days, 254 rows). An absent reading is not zero availability. Missing dates are not interpolated or carried forward.

Files and configurations

  • latest: gpu-prices-latest.csv; history: gpu-prices-history.csv. One cloud row per recorded day, chip, instance type and region. The original cloud columns are retained; freshness columns are appended. These files contain no Akash rows.
  • akash_latest: akash-gpu-prices-latest.csv; akash_history: akash-gpu-prices-history.csv. One separate marketplace summary per recorded day and chip, with basis marketplace_bid. These files contain no cloud list-price rows.
  • gpu-prices-freshness.json: per-series first/latest dates, recorded-day counts, missing snapshot dates, latest read time and row counts. Timestamps describe the source snapshots, not the upload time. Consumers must check age against their current UTC clock.

Cloud methodology and schema

Sources: AWS Price List bulk files, Azure Retail Prices API and Google Cloud Billing Catalog API. AWS EC2 Spot is also included where recorded (separate rows, basis spot, observation time in read_at); older days need not contain AWS Spot. All rates are USD per GPU-hour. instance_share divides whole-instance cost by GPU count (includes vCPU and memory). Google rows add the GPU SKU plus its share of the named machine type's vCPU/RAM SKUs. Disks, licences and network are excluded. No marketplace bids appear in these cloud files; prices are never blended across chips, sizes or regions.

Columns: snapshot_date, chip, gpu_mem_gb, provider, region, sku, gpus, od_per_gpu_h, spot_per_gpu_h, effective, basis, vcpus_per_gpu, memory_gib_per_gpu, source, generated_at, source_checked_at, source_last_ok, source_status, read_at. Prices are decimal strings; missing prices are empty, never zero. effective is a provider price date, not freshness. generated_at is the snapshot time. source_checked_at, source_last_ok and source_status preserve source metadata. read_at is the row's observation time where present (AWS Spot), otherwise the source's last_ok. AWS source last_ok is an aggregate cache refresh time, not a guaranteed per-region fetch time; stale/error regions are marked source_status=stale. History preserves these statuses rather than relabelling old data as current.

Akash methodology and schema

Source: https://console-api.akash.network/v1/gpu-prices (Akash Console API). These are marketplace bids from independent providers, not cloud list prices, executed trades or guaranteed capacity. The upstream snapshot merges interfaces per chip: minimum is the lowest interface minimum, maximum the highest interface maximum, median the reported median of the interface with the largest total fleet (not a median across interfaces). GPU counts are added across interfaces.

Columns: snapshot_date, chip, median_usd_per_gpu_hour, min_usd_per_gpu_hour, max_usd_per_gpu_hour, gpus_available, gpus_total, read_at, generated_at, source, basis, unit. min_usd_per_gpu_hour, median_usd_per_gpu_hour, max_usd_per_gpu_hour are unrounded USD decimal strings. gpus_available and gpus_total are integer counts; zero free GPUs is a valid recorded reading. read_at is when Akash was read, independently of the cloud snapshot's generated_at; source, basis and unit retain its provenance. Historical days before the first Akash observation have no Akash rows.

Freshness and refresh policy

Daily publication is attempted only when data changed, at most once per dataset per UTC day, within Tanod's shared five-Hugging-Face-pushes-per-UTC-day cap. A skipped, failed or capped attempt is not a fresh upload. Publication refuses missing AWS/Azure/Google/Akash latest series, unhealthy cloud sources, observations or snapshots aged 36 hours or more, and mismatched latest/history snapshots. AWS Spot is optional, but checked when present. Historical timestamps are retained, not required to be recent. There is no claim that the dataset is current merely because this card exists: inspect the timestamps and gpu-prices-freshness.json.

The source snapshots are at https://tanod.dev/gpu/ and https://tanod.dev/gpu/history/. The day-by-day API is POST https://tanod.dev/v1/compute/gpu-index (USD 0.002 per call).
