Vultr drops 4x and 8x NVIDIA A16 GPU tiers, jumping from 2x straight to 16x
What happened
Between the Oct 12, 2026 and Oct 19, 2026 captures of Vultr's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Two NVIDIA A16 GPU Cloud Compute tiers removed: 4x GPU/64GB GPU RAM/24 vCPUs ($1.884/hr) and 8x GPU/128GB GPU RAM/48 vCPUs ($3.767/hr). Lineup now jumps from 2x GPU ($0.942/hr) straight to 16x GPU ($7.534/hr). Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan removed) with a downward direction. The current page lists Load Balancers at $10, Global Load Balancers at $10, CDN at $10, Cloud Compute Regular Performance at $2.5 per month and Object Storage Archival at $6 per TB per month.
It lands 21 days after Vultr's previous change, "Vultr: NVIDIA A16 2-GPU tier RAM cut 128GB→120GB" (Sep 28, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Vultr: new Audit Logs add-on ($0.50/GB ingestion + $0.01/GB/mo retention)" (Aug 5, 2026). Vultr has been tracked since 2026-05-16.
In the same window OVHcloud, Digitalocean, Google Cloud and Scale also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
