Clouds selectively gatekeep high-end GPUs; OpenAI got a leg up
AI SUPERCLOUD with Greg Osuri of Akash Network (The Interop)
“Companies today that are doing machine learning cannot get these GPUs, the high-end GPUs we call A100s and H100s, on the cloud unless you have a special deal with someone higher up in one of these cloud providers… they selectively choose which company should be successful. OpenAI got a big leg up because of this reason and that’s not fair.” — 00:13:17
Context: Argument that hyper-concentration in cloud creates censorship by business bias; innovators get priced out of AI compute.
