It's as difficult as a serverless provider to grow as it was for CPUs before GPUs came along. Many companies overinvest in fully-owned hardware, rather than renting from clouds. Owning hardware means you underwrite unrented inventory c

Absolutely - GPUs are definitely not a very liquid asset. As someone who works at a GPU neocloud provider (Voltage Park), server assets at scale definitely face a huge slippage, you can buy for $1 and get quotes for $1.50 but only be able t

Hello! If you're interested in monetizing those GPUs, I'd be happy to rent them (all 400!) and offer those to customers of the cloud I work at :) jonathan [at] tensordock.com

Congrats on the launch! This is huge, and it's really cool to see a cloud provider moving this direction - auction pricing for customers so that you always know you're getting the best deal on the market, while providing 100% util

Hmm I did include a training workload as the second chart. My test workload was relatively small so I guess if the workload I ran spends a bit less GPU time comparatively to the CPU, given equal CPU for all workloads, would be an equalizing

Utilization is not going to be 100% --- ever. Discounts are often given, and servers break down, etc.

Thanks! :) We do have a managed container hosting service, but it's built on our own backend that auto-scales nodes for you when average GPU utilization surpasses a certain point, but it's not K8s -- which would have been a pain t

Hi! Jonathan from TensorDock here :) We have our own supply base (sourced through https://tensordock.com/host ), operate some of our own servers, and are not related to any other marketplace :) We think we have better securi

I think if you offer to sell to them, they will probably give you a lowball offer. Instead, maybe consider trying to grow it on your own, see where you can take it, and if it shows some reasonable traction, a big player would probably defin

Yeah, feel free to shoot me an email for like $25 of credit. For startups, we usually do $100 (just send a request from your startup email address). Even with $5 credits, we had people abusing the system and creating multiple accounts to cr

Whoops, apologies for missing this! For our core cloud product, we only partner with established providers. Large-scale compute wholesalers with $5m+ of compute each in secure data centers. These companies' entire businesses are built

We will consider! We are working with two potential suppliers in the area... expect more news by the end of the year if those deals go through! :)

Absolutely! You can use our Windows 10 instances and cloud game (like how airGPU sells cloud gaming containers on us), render blender scenes, or do CAD on remote desktops. These are dedicated virtual machines for you to use :)

Thanks for the comment! Our core GPU cloud product is all data center-based. People can modify VMs after created, giving greater flexibility. Storage is 3x-replicated, 10 gbps networking, etc. We think of this more as an AWS replacement tha

Not yet, but it's something we can definitely accommodate. If you just send us a link to a .qcow2 or .img file that's a cloud image configured with DHCP, we'll be able to set you up in no time :) - Jonathan @ TensorDock
