#3>We were trying to make "midjourney for music", everyone told us the minimum purchase was all the money in our bank account plus at least two of our limbs.
i hate to say this gives off a 'failed prospectors pivoting to shovel sales' vibe that i find concerning.

#4> We'll sell you just for a month, for about $2.5m. It's more per-hour than what most folks will do, which doesn't always make it a great choice for inference. But for training very large models, it's a company-defining purchase.
I loved the "company-defining purchase" bit of this copy. It's like they're persuading me how many months of salary I should spend on an engagement ring.

#5"No availability for 2 nodes for 1 week."
For the 1 week, clicking "Purchase" just gives console errors and doesn't do anything.

"It's pretty easy to brick a node and need to get it reflashed."
They are learning quickly that running large scale GPU compute isn't as easy as selling shovels.

#7It's a super cool project but this post is not close to being a valid Show HN. Please read the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. (The submitted title was "Show HN: The World's Cheapest Supercomputer", which also broke the HN guidelines by being baity.)
Not only that but you had a huge Show HN just 3 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36933603, making this repost a dupe by HN's rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) - and not only that but the earlier post, being a signup list, wasn't a valid Show HN either. Evidently we missed that.

I am glad it came up again. I missed it 3 months ago.
Re: Bay Bridge: the cheapest H100 training clusters
#9kind of weird crack about gpu and ib failure rates. can anyone expand on that?
(I'm familiar with several large HPC clusters that have low gpu and ib failures)

Ah! Whoops apologies :( I don’t think we were clear that this is a launch of the second cluster, not like a rehash of the previous one.
Not trying to repost, just is a poorly explained launch.
