SkyPilot as price benchmark - Open-source multi-cloud GPU price comparison

Fetched 2026-10-04. SkyPilot's GPU Compass (gpus.skypilot.co) is a user-facing portal for the open-source skypilot-catalog data. It compares on-demand and spot GPU prices across 20+ cloud providers. The portal renders the catalog data as a searchable, filterable table. The key advantage of SkyPilot over GPU.ai is that it is open-source - the data can be audited, verified, and extended. The catalog is refreshed every 7 hours for AWS, GCP, and Lambda. The GPU Compass portal was not fully accessible via static fetch (the page showed 'Loading GPU pricing data...'), but the underlying catalog data (vms.csv files) was fully accessible via GitHub raw URLs. The catalog includes both on-demand and spot prices, making it possible to compute the spot discount ratio systematically. SkyPilot is the best source for raw cloud provider prices, while GPU.ai is the best source for aggregated and normalized prices.
