Nvidia's H100 GPU rental prices have decreased following a surge earlier in May, as reported by the Ornn Compute Price Index (OCPI). The index, which tracks live-traded prices, shows that hourly rates for these GPUs have fluctuated significantly, with recent rates around $1.80 per hour after peaking earlier this month. This volatility highlights the GPU rental market's evolution into a financial market, with prices now accessible on the Bloomberg Terminal.
In a significant development, ICE and Ornn announced the launch of GPU compute futures contracts on May 19, 2026. These contracts, based on the OCPI, will cover multiple GPU models, including Nvidia's H100 and H200. This move allows AI companies to hedge compute costs and introduces a new asset class for financial traders. The market's dependency on Nvidia hardware underscores the influence of the company's production and export policies on rental prices.
