An NVIDIA GPU is a high-yield asset. An H100, bought on the secondary market in Sep 2025 for ~$19k: Resale today: ~$20.5k Net rent earned: ~$13.5k Total: ~$34,000, +76% in 1 year. A B300, bought in Jul 2026 for ~$54k: Resale today: ~$51k Net rent earned: ~$14k Total: ~$65,500, +21% in under 3 months What allows these assets continue to earn? Resale value has held as rental rates have increased and demand has grown across all hardware generations. Resale rates have held within −5% to +7%, while Ornn's H100 index is $2.91/hr, +49% from a year ago, and our new B300 index tracks at $11.32/hr, up 66% from June. H100 marketplace utilization is 87% today. B300 is at 90%. Ornn's forward curves predicts that in 2 years, by Sep 2028: H100 ~$63,500 (+227%) B300 ~$186,000 (+244%) NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell hardware both hold incredible residual value.

The open vs closed source race is a price war. Since June, the average paid token from OpenAI got 62% cheaper. DeepSeek: −51%. Google: −29%. Anthropic: −11%. Over the same three months, Ornn has tracked B200 rent rising 50%. H200 rose 28%. Models are getting cheaper to buy. The compute to run them is getting more expensive to rent. So where does value accrue? To whoever owns the compute. The cheapest open-weight model finishes a task for about 1/5 the cost of a comparable closed model, and they don't need the newest chips. Every GPU is a shovel when the models are free. See more at
