>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.
> 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.
It'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.)

They are learning quickly that running large scale GPU compute isn't as easy as selling shovels.

For the 1 week, clicking "Purchase" just gives console errors and doesn't do anything.
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.
Not trying to repost, just is a poorly explained launch.
(I'm familiar with several large HPC clusters that have low gpu and ib failures)
