AWS raises GPU prices 15 per cent on a Saturday, hopes you weren’t paying attention Source: https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/05/aws_price_increase/
The Register reports that AWS has increased pricing for its EC2 Capacity Blocks for machine learning by approximately 15 per cent, with the change occurring over the weekend.
The article notes this follows AWS’s earlier messaging about “up to 45 per cent” GPU price reductions, which applied to On-Demand and Savings Plans rather than Capacity Blocks, and frames the move as a reminder of the risk of pricing dependency on a single provider.
