Sound like solid prebuilt with well balanced components and a pretty case Not revolutionary in any way, but nice. Unless I'm missing something here?

It's pretty close to what people have been frankenbuilding on r/LocaLLaMa... It's nice to have a prebuild option.

The exabox is interesting. I wonder who the customer is; after watching the Vera Rubin launch, I cannot imagine deciding I wanted to compete with NVIDIA for hyperscale business right now. Maybe it’s aiming at a value-conscious buyer? Maybe it’s a sensible buy for a (relatively) cash-strapped ML startup; actually I just checked prices, and it looks like Vera Rubin costs half for a similar amount of GPU RAM. I’m certain that the interconnect will not be as good as NV’s.

I have no idea who would buy this. Maybe if you think Vera Rubin is three years out? But NV ships, man, they are shipping.

Cool that you have a dual power supply model. It says rack mountable or free standing. Does that mean two form factors? $65K is more than we can afford right now but we are definitely eventually in the market for something we can run in our own colo.

It's funny though... we're using deepseek now for features in our service and based on our customer-type we thought that they would be completely against sending their data to a third-party. We thought we'd have to do everything locally. But they seem ok with deepseek which is practically free. And the few customers that still worry about privacy may not justify such a high price point.
