The screenshot there is 1xH100 PCIE, for $1.604. Which is likely promotional pricing to get customers onboarded.
With promotional pricing it can be $0 for qualified customers.
Note also, how the author shows screenshots for invites for private alpha access. It can be mutually beneficial for the data center to provide discounted alpha testing access. The developer gets discounted access, the data center gets free/realistic alpha testing workflows.
- electronbeam 2y agoThe PCIE has much lower perf than even a 1x slice of an SXM
- pico_creator 2y agoI really suggest shopping around. <$2 SXM is a real thing, if your patient enough on the schedule.
- pico_creator 2y agoWhen I did the screenshot a month ago, it wasn't public info yet. Now its public: SFCompute list it on their main page - https://sfcompute.com/ https://sfcompute.com/ And they are *not* the only one
- ipsum2 2y agoOkay, but you can't actually buy it at that price, it's a pure marketing ploy.
- pico_creator 2y agoNot at $0.5 (which the lower bound in their marketing), but $1.5 is very doable on right times (done so multiple times) The article says $2. Which is quite consistent for a small cluster
- ipsum2 2y agoThe average consumer cannot. Only those who have access to sfcompute's private beta can access those prices. Once it opens up to the public, the price will increase.
- zaptrem 2y agoRunning preprocessing jobs on a $0.5 SFCompute H100 node RN (though price usually bounces up to what you mentioned).
- shrubble 2y agoSo are you thinking that the lower price is to get the customer in the door and then when they need the Infiniband connected GPUs to charge them more?
