[AI Computing Power Shortage Exacerbates Nvidia GPU Rental Price Surge] ⑴ The AI gold rush is rapidly depleting a crucial resource for AI developers: computing power. Data from New York-based data provider Ornn shows that spot rental prices for Nvidia's entire GPU lineup in cloud data centers have surged in recent months. ⑵ The Ornn Compute price index shows that the hourly rental price for Nvidia's most advanced Blackwell series chips has reached $4.08, a 48% increase from $2.75 two months ago. ⑶ Vultr CEO JJ Kardwell stated, "The computing power shortage is extremely severe, unlike anything I've seen in my five-plus years in the industry. The question is, why don't we just deploy more equipment? Delivery cycles are too long, data center construction takes too long, and all available power resources until 2026 have already been booked."
