rise in the 1-year H100 rental contract index, Oct 2025 to Mar 2026, as capacity tightened; on-demand largely sold out

~+40%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
CaveatThe +40% is the Oct-2025→Mar-2026 move. It did not keep compounding: Silicon Data's index printed ~$2.5–2.7/hr (neo-cloud) by mid-Aug 2026 — scarcity still beating the depreciation curve, but stabilized, not accelerating.
