Market Data: Token Costs & GPU Rental Trends

Public market data fetched and archived daily, charting the China-vs-global divergence. Methodology: token figures are prices — median list prices per 1M tokens from OpenRouter's public model catalog (a cost metric, not platform usage volume); global GPU rents are per-GPU medians of live Vast.ai marketplace offers (USD/hr); China GPU rents are Compshare's (UCloud) published starting prices (CNY/hr); the CN/Global ratio converts CNY at the ECB reference rate (Frankfurter). History accrues from real daily snapshots starting at launch — nothing is backfilled.
