It's interesting to compare the cost for cloud GPU's vs. buying the hardware outright. At ~$10,000 per Nvidia A100 GPU, it seems like this cloud provider would break even on the hardware after about 5 months at these rates. There are certainly other costs involved (racking, power, etc.), but that's not too bad. I'm almost surprised Nvidia doesn't cannibalize it's hardware sales by running its own cloud.
