> The firm also built a compute cluster fitted with 5,760 Nvidia A100 GPUs in June 2012

Wow, that's some really early hardware access. /s

Lol, I was wondering if A100 is really that old. Turns out A100 was released in 2020.
Yea I assume they meant 2021. 2012 was still the early days of GPU compute. Best we had were M2090s.
Maybe, they picked up date when Elon first communicated that they are "ready" to go live. Like everything else it took a decade to materialize.
I only had about 3 NVIDIA H100 in 1980
Someone needs to figure out at what point all the compute in the world became more powerful than a single H100.
