so why not buy up all the little h100s and enough together for a cluster? seems like a decent rollup strategy?

ofcourse it woudl still cost a lot to do... but if the difference is $2/hr vs $4.49/hr then there's some size where it makes sense

Only if they're networked with Infiniband.

Makes sense, though only folks like runpod / sfcompute / etc, have enough visibility to maybe pull this off?

Its a risker move - then just taxing the excess compute now, and print money on the margins from bag holders

[latchkey]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I recall, neither of those two companies own their own compute. They are marketplaces.

[pico_creator]

Yup, but they at-least know where all these "small unused clusters" are.

Bag holders, do not want to be shouting to the world they are bag holders.

[qeternity]

I think sfcompute does own a lot or most of the current compute on their platform? Not entirely sure though.
