What a Brief Looks Like

⚡ Signal of the WeekExample

H100 spot prices dropped 23% in 48 hours across major cloud providers.

Why it matters

Compute cost windows are narrow. Most operators miss them because there's no system watching. This window closed in 4 days — the next may be shorter.

Recommended action

Set a RunPod vs Vast.ai price alert for H100 80GB. Historical cycles suggest the next compression window opens in 2–4 weeks.
