> We got our "deal" when buying just a single server and have since bought many more with the same provider. We didn't spend 7 figures all at once, we did it piece-meal over time. There is nothing stopping you from getting much better prices.

If it is as easy as you make it sound, why would you not just share the vendor name? I personally would love an 8xH100 machine for transformer experiments, but $100k+ pricing makes it a non-starter.

The contract has very clear language not to share it - likely because they are offering different prices to different companies.

(And as p1esk mentioned, there is no way you are getting H100s for under $100k).

8xH100 machine is ~300k I’ve heard.

Well, the person above claims 8xA100 significantly under $130k. I am curious to hear more.

[p1esk]

Sure, but you mentioned H100 machine, and those are about 2.5x more expensive.
