We have almost 400 H100's sitting idle. I wonder how many other companies are buying millions of dollars worth of these chips with the hopes of them being used, but aren't being utilized?

So you're saying, H100s are the corporate equivalent of Raspberry Pis now? Bought to not miss out, then left to gather dust in a drawer?
Hello! If you're interested in monetizing those GPUs, I'd be happy to rent them (all 400!) and offer those to customers of the cloud I work at :)

If you want 512 H100s connected with infiniband: https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud/1-click-clusters
Have you considered sponsoring an open-source project? ;)
If you'd like to contribute some much-appreciated compute to university researchers all across the US, please email me (mhsiu at ucsd.edu).

It should be possible to hook up your idle devices to Nautilus (https://nationalresearchplatform.org/), which is a cluster set up to support researchers at a bunch of universities. I can't guarantee anything since I'm not involved in the cluster management itself, but I can put you in contact with those who are if you're interested.

I know of many important projects that need GPUs right now and aren’t getting any. You could help motivate the ponydiffusion folks to actually try finetuning of SD3!
Wow, that's a lot of money in inventory. What was the original thought process? Just fomo?
the world would love to buy time on your idle H100's if you're selling.
That's insane and incredible all at the same time.
Looking to get rid of a few?....
Probably could profit selling them second hand honestly.
