fwiw, https://roomservice.dev/ is currently a 404
Ah yeah, that's normal! Was from my old CRDT company, and works as a good emergency email while we debug our DNS.

#34How does this compare to https://lambdalabs.com/ ?
Ah, we're running a medium amount of compute at zero-margin. The point is not to go sell the Fortune 500, but to make sure a grad student can spend a $50k grant. Right now, it's pretty easy to get a few A/H100s (Lambda is great for this), but very hard to get more than 24 at a reasonable price ($~2 an hour). One often needs to put up a 6+ month commitment, even when they may only want to run their H100s for an 8 hour…
As a graduate student, thank you. Thankfully, my workloads aren't LLM crazy so I can get by on my old NVIDIA consumer hardware, but I have coworkers struggling to get reasonable prices/time for larger scale hardware.

From sentence one of the post, it clearly states that they are VC funders who are doing this for a round of startups they just funded, and they're looking for others to be a part of it.
Neither Alex or I are currently VCs, and this has no affiliation with any venture fund.
We want to be a customer of the sf compute group too!
