Coreweave intially loaded up on GPUs to mine Ethereum, made money off that during the boom, then pivoted to being a GPU cloud, and found themselves with all these GPUs in the ML/AI bubble. Amazing run.
- bushbaba 3y agoMining used consumer GPUs which are not allowed to be used for datacenters. So I doubt they managed to reuse the hardware
- sorcer 3y agoNo mining GPUs are in their fleet anymore, that's long gone. It's all datacenter GPUs as per their website.
