Price path
Steps, not candles. Each dot is a dated print; the line carries the last print forward until the next one. A dashed line is a series that stopped publishing.
Dated prints only; the flat line is the list holding, not an assumption.

Questions people ask
How much does Trainium2 cost per hour?
$2.24 per GPU-hour Capacity Blocks at AWS as of 7 Sep 2026 (trn2.48×large, $2.235 / chip-hr, 16 chips. Not on-demand.). Other sourced prints: $2.24 Capacity Blocks trn2.48xlarge at AWS.
Why do Trainium2 prices differ so much between clouds?
Because the terms differ. On-demand is a list price with no commitment; spot is interruptible and priced to fill idle capacity; reserved and one-year contracts trade a commitment for a lower rate; AWS Capacity Blocks are scheduled reservations, not on-demand. The tape never averages these: each print carries its venue, term and date.
Has the Trainium2 price gone up or down?
No dated same-venue pair exists for a one-quarter change, so none is printed.
Is the Trainium2 available to rent right now?
AWS Capacity Blocks only (trn2.48xlarge, 16 chips). Not an on-demand SKU in this snapshot.
