# Citadel’s Frank Flight Sees Pricing Power in Firm H100 Rental Rates By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/44632 Published: 2026-10-30T11:59:38.000Z Updated: 2026-10-30T11:59:38.000Z Section: Technology > Rates for longer rental periods sit below spot levels, while firm forward pricing points to leverage for providers of limited computing capacity. Firm forward pricing for NVIDIA’s older-generation H100 GPUs points to potential pricing power for providers with limited computing capacity, Citadel’s Frank Flight said. Rates for longer rental periods are below spot levels. That comparison reflects different contract durations rather than prices falling over time, while forward rental rates have remained firm, Flight said. Forward curves show rental rates across contract terms and include prices implied for future rental periods. They describe the cost of renting GPU capacity, not the resale price of a physical H100 card. More on how the [forward curve pricing]() is structured is available in earlier TokenPost coverage. ## Links in this article - [forward curve pricing](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/33069)
