Azure and such get such massive scaling cost benefits from scaling that HF's own GPUs would probably be more expensive anyway, even if they go AMD/Intel.

It does seem like they should run their own storage nodes, with the sheer quantity of models they host...

Everyone claims that, yet I have never seen it happen.

Typically, small companies get rebates on NVIDIA GPUs, but big established ones do not. So I would expect a startup with 100 GPUs to pay less per GPU than Azure.
