[SMM Computing Power News] An AI cloud platform shut down on September 21, with public cloud resources being released centrally or repurposed.

Published: Sep 14, 2026 10:23
SMM learned that a public AI cloud service provider issued an announcement stating that, due to business strategy adjustments, its public cloud platform will officially cease services at 23:59 on September 21, 2026, covering all public cloud businesses including GPU, CPU, shared storage, and model APIs. The platform requires users to complete data backup and migration before shutdown, after which resources will be uniformly released and data cleared, with no liability assumed for data loss, and unused vouchers will be voided simultaneously. SMM believes that the exit of small and medium-sized cloud platforms will bring about the reallocation of existing GPU resources, potentially creating regional resource release and leasing windows in the short term.

SMM has learned that 200 RTX 5090 fan cards are available for spot sale in South China, quoted at 47,100 yuan per card. Compared with the quote of 42,000 yuan per card for 200 fan cards in the same region in early September, this deal is up 5,100 yuan, an increase of about 12%; over the same period, the single-card price for this model in the Hong Kong market was $5,600. SMM believes that fan card quotes have moved up continuously recently, and rush buying on the hardware side is still ongoing; meanwhile, monthly rental for a full RTX 5090 system on the leasing side remains at 13,500-16,000 yuan, further widening the price spread between hardware and leasing.
