compute.cheap Lists H100s at $2.04/hr and Publishes a Daily Spot Benchmark to Commoditize GPU Rental
A Show HN post on 2026-09-03 (35 points) launched compute.cheap, a marketplace where capacity owners bid for workloads: H100 80GB at $2.038/hr on-demand or $1.187/hr spot, H200 141GB HBM3e at $2.995/hr on-demand or $1.773/hr spot, prices last updated 2026-09-02. The pitch is four explicit cost levers, marketplace competition, idle hardware, no long-term contracts with capacity reserved on payment, and stripping managed-services overhead to sell GPUs only. Paired with the Computable GPU Index that launched on Product Hunt the day before, the pattern this week is public daily price discovery on GPU compute, which erodes the margin managed AI platforms take on inference resale.
