Nvidia H100 and GPU Pricing 2026: Buy, Rent, and Cloud Costs Explained

The Nvidia H100 was the workhorse behind nearly every major language model trained between 2023 and 2025, and in 2026 it remains a central line item in any AI infrastructure budget. But H100 pricing is famously hard to pin down: there is no clean sticker price, rental rates swing widely by provider, and newer GPUs like the H200 and B200 are reshaping the value calculation.

Maria Pía Bridge in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal

Porto is a city that seems engineered for wonder. Its steep cobbled streets tumble toward the Douro River, where tiled façades glow amber at sunset and old trams rattle past wine cellars older than many nations.

The Validation Gap Is Costing You More Than You Think

Our latest State of Software Delivery report analyzed more than 28 million CI workflows and found a pattern that should give engineering leaders pause. Average throughput grew 59% year over year. Main branch activity for the median team declined 7%. Teams are generating more code than ever before. Less of it is reaching production. The […]

AI Is Changing How We Write Infrastructure, But It’s Not Solving How We Control It

Over the past year, AI has fundamentally changed how software is written. Infrastructure code is no exception. Tasks that once required deep familiarity with tools, syntax, and workflows can now be handled through natural language. Engineers are no longer starting from a blank file. In many cases, reviewing and modifying code generated for them has […]

Hung Vuong Stadium construction begins as part of Vietnam transformation plan

It could hold 135,000 spectators and looks like a giant Vietnamese drum. Right now, it is a 24-hour construction site, but by 2030, proponents say Hung Vuong Stadium will be one of the world’s biggest arenas. On paper, it has 3,000 more seats than the Narendra Modi Stadium in India, and will rival North Korea’s Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, which is estimated to hold between 114,000 and 150,000…
