Per the attached chart, H100 rental prices dropped from $8/GPU-hour in mid-2023 to a low of $1.70 in Oct 2025, recovering to $2.53 by mid-2026 (sources: Silicon Data H100 index, SemiAnalysis).
Bittensor subnet SN44 (decentralized training) used the NVIDIA CEO news to highlight resilience: "decentralized training has no CEO" — miners kept competing and models kept getting scored hourly through the transition. Cheaper compute means more miners can participate and more models compete for top scores.
