Wafer is making themselves synonymous with slop in the inference space. Exaggerated unfair comparisons in all their results, twitter hype posts with alarm emojis etc.

> $2.50/GPU-hr for the MI355X, $6.00 for the B300, and $4.25 for the B200.

This is not an accurate price comparison for real terms.

This is a company that launched a token subscription (WaferPass), before weeks later, rugpulling the plan for being unsustainable while simultaneously claiming they achieved incredible inference efficiency gains worthy of paying them mind.
I went the gpus.io website & it’s $2.95/hr right now, this is like comparing MSRP to actual market price. B300s are in demand & hence cost more, but these lazy editors at wafer.ai can't be bothered to do TCO on actual ownership nor share code to replicate their setups.
