I ran the actual break-even math on buying vs renting an H200 box, and it is not where I expected

A Reddit user analyzed the break-even point for buying versus renting an H200 box, noting that many discussions lack concrete numbers. Their analysis found the median on-demand H200 rental price across 34 providers was approximately $4.40 per GPU-hour as of September 18, with lower rates closer to spot pricing. The user shared their calculations to solicit feedback on actual utilization rates observed by others.
