A100s: five-week waits and concentrated ownership
Interview with Greg Osuri of Akash Network (Web3 Working Group)
“Today we have something called Nvidia Tesla A100s… right now to get Nvidia A100 it takes about five weeks wait time — there is just not enough chips… I think Amazon has about 20,000 of them, Facebook has 10,000, Stability AI has four thousand… if you go to Amazon you can get A100s — unless you pay them a lot of money, they’re not going to give it to you.” — 00:33:56
