Coreweave is a cloud provider right? I dont think it is apple to apple comparison.

  What's a cloud? K8s is a cloud imo, so is what oxide is providing afaict

    Cloud is an API you can hit to get access to hardware. Oxide sells hardware.
    • bakies 1mo ago
      Oxide has an API on top that gets you services. The whole pitch is AWS with purchased hardware, no? That's cloud
      • fragmede 1mo ago
        Yes but you buy the hardware and have to rack it, and then you have a cloud at home.

          Extreme nit: because you purchase a rack at a time, you don't actually rack it. You wheel it in, plug in network and power, and hit "on".

            Oh man, genuinely thank you for that nit. Gives me different imagery to imagine for the Oxide node I'll never be able to afford.

              I'm glad, I meant it in semi-jest, because it's true, but also just a very funny thing to "well actually" about.
