| # 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). |
