I doubt they're paying retail prices like the tweet implies. Still can't be a small number if that is true.

If there is a discount, it will be tiny:

> “We’re so short on GPUs the less people use our products the better… We’d love it if they use it less because we don’t have enough GPUs” — Sam Altman

> Meta who has the 2nd most H100 GPUs in the world is increasingly leveraging GPU supply as a recruiting strategy.

EXACTLY! what I was assuming.

Wrong (it's 350K according to Zuck on insta) and dupe of "Meta will have more than 350.000 Nvidia H100s this year"[0], or "Zuckerberg's Meta Is Spending Billions to Buy 350k Nvidia H100 GPUs"[1]
