Lambda announces GPU price rises of about 15% — B200, H100 and A100 80GB, from Nov 16
Nov 6, 2026
Read on Lambda's own pricing page today, Nov 6, 2026: the Instances table now prints the prices that take effect on Nov 16, 2026 — HGX B200 up $1.00 an hour, H100 up $0.60 and A100 80GB up $0.40. It is the largest single announced rise we have caught this autumn, and renters have ten days' notice.

What was announced, in the pricing page's own words (read Nov 6, 2026): 'These prices take effect November 16, 2026, at 00:00 UTC. Until then, log in to your Lambda Cloud account to see current pricing.' The printed Nov 16 rates: HGX B200 $7.69 an hour (from the $6.69 last verified on Nov 5, +14.9%), HGX H100 $4.59 (from $3.99, +15.0%), HGX A100 80GB $3.19 (from $2.79, +14.3%), and HGX A100 40GB unchanged at $1.99. Lambda is also now at a new address — lambda.com — announced on its blog on Nov 5, 2026; the pricing page itself still answers at lambda.ai/pricing.
How we are treating it: an announced rise is not a live price. Our board keeps Lambda's last verified rates until Nov 16 and will move only when the new rates are re-verified in effect on or after that date — the rise is recorded in Price Watch today as announced, with both dates. One consequence of the announcement is already live, though: Lambda's currently-effective rates can no longer be read on its public page, only after logging in, so today's public check could verify the future rates but not re-read the current ones.
What it does to the board when it lands: Lambda's B200 at $6.69 is currently the cheapest verified HGX B200 instance rate we list from a self-serve cloud; at $7.69 it would sit above RunPod Community's $5.98 marketplace rate and just below RunPod Secure's $7.99. Its H100 at $4.59 would remain above the board's best H100 SXM offer (TensorDock, from $2.25 at an 8-GPU minimum) but move Lambda from the middle of the H100 pack toward its top. Around-the-clock, the announced rises add about $730 a month per B200, $438 per H100 and $292 per A100 80GB on a 730-hour month.
What it means if you rent GPUs
Until today, this autumn's rises were either quiet list adjustments caught after the fact (Verda's ten) or rises read on the day they landed. Lambda has done the renter-friendly thing — announced, dated and quantified, ten days ahead — and the size is the story: about 15% at once, on the three cards that anchor most training budgets. Anyone renewing or reserving Lambda capacity this month now has a hard date to plan around, and Nov 16 becomes a date this desk will verify first thing.
