I think in this case they just know the demand is RED HOT and they don't have nearly the supply to go around. I don't think it's really the typical new product concerns on this one (product-market fit, are we covering use cases, are there technical problems, etc.). They know people want this and would rather have it right this second, problems and all, than wait for a slow rollout; Google just doesn't have the supply to go around.

Then sell it for more. Just give me a price. Or let me bid on it. Or, don't announce it like it's launched until it's usable.

  If your demand for this is so urgent, it sounds like you want your own hardware. Here you go, that’ll be 38k for just the H100: https://serverevolution.com/nvidia-900-21010-0000-000.html https://serverevolution.com/nvidia-900-21010-0000-000.html

    Does that come with the model weights? Not really relevant then to their announced products is it?

      What model weights is the Google's A3 supercomputer supposed to come with? It's an announcement of new hardware available in GCP.

        Sorry got mixed up with a conversation in a different thread more specifically about the wait-lists around palm.
