Assuming they mean 8xA100 or similar, that's some rather insane performance, and at just 3x the cost, it still quite cheap-ish. With some optimisations this might be quite interesting.

I think the margins are getting quite compressed with this one, since it isn't included in token plan and the actual costs increase are much higher than just 3x. But still fairly decent.

Suspect this will be included once out of beta but at a higher credit/token ratio.

Remember, these guys are not VC backed. Anything they do must break even

Understand the spirit of this, but probably not true. I don't think Xiaomi, or any big tech company, needs to break even on their new model releases.

Chinese "companies" are not companies in the western sense, but more like government departments with capitalist styling to deceive the western audience.

From that point of view, they have as much money as they need. That's why there is no "VC", because Chinese government assumes that role.

Huge L for free market economies if true
