#52I love the idea of community assets. could it be the start of a GPU co-op?
Serious Q, as I dont know Twitters internal infra at all... but with a shrinking in revenue from ads, or maybe less engagement by users, and the influx of Threads - maybe twitter can use from slices of its infra (even if its rack space, VMs, Containers, connectivity, who knows what, to support startups such as this? Basically twitter devolves into the Colos of the late 90s :-) - For those who didnt notice, it was ton…
I've generally tried to give Twitter the benefit of the doubt but I would never trust them as an infrastructure provider in their current incarnation. Reliability and consistency have been so far from their focus.

#53During a gold rush, sell shovels. When was the last time you spoke to a chatbot?
For me, today and almost every day since the beginning of this year. Not sure if that saying applies here.

#54Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Lambda Labs already provide them at 1.89$? What’s the point if you’re starting out not the cheapest
Looks like their site is quoting a rate of $1.99 now https://lambdalabs.com/
See this post above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36935032
Price and market depth are very different things

For consumer-grade cards, that's already here.
Make money off your GPU with vast.AI

Chatbot in the sense I think you mean is a horrible application. Millions of people are using large language models daily though.

Would you really trust a company that doesn't pay its rent to run your infrastructure?

#60I am super interested in AI on a personal level and have been involved for a number of years. I have never seen a GPU crunch quite like it is right now. To anyone who is interested in hobbyist ML, I highly highly recommend using vast.ai
Many thanks for posting about vast.ai, which I had never heard of! It's a sort of "gig economy/marketplace" for GPU's. The first machine I tried just now worked fine, had 512GB of RAM, 256 AMC CPUs, an A100 GPU, and I got about 4 minutes for $0.05 (which they provided for free).
