We are talking specifically about OpenAI, though.
People who previously were at the high end of GPU can now afford used H100s -> they sell their GPUs -> we can maybe afford them
the hermit crab gambit, everyone line up in order of size!
Yep and if OpenAI goes under the whole market will likely crash, people will dump their GPUs they’ve been using to create models and then boom, you’ve got a bunch of GPUs available.
That would depend entirely on why OpenAI might go under. The linked article is very sparse on details, but it says:
