New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: San Francisco Compute – 512 H100s at <$2/hr for research and startups
Show HN: San Francisco Compute – 512 H100s at <$2/hr for research and startups

Hey folks! We're Alex and Evan, and we're working on putting together a 512 H100 compute cluster for startups and researchers to train large generative models on. - it runs at the lowest possible margins (<$2.00/hr per H100) - designed for bursty training runs, so you can take say 128 H100s for a week - you don’t need to commit to multiple years of compute or pay for a year upfront Big labs like OpenAI and Deepmind have big clusters that support this kind of bursty allocation for their researchers, but startups so far have had to get very small clusters on very long term contracts, wait months of lead time, and try to keep them busy all the time. Our goal is to make it about 10-20x cheaper to do an AI startup than it is right now. Stable Diffusion only costs about $100k to train -- in theory every YC company could get up to that scale. It's just that no cloud provider in the world will give you $100k of compute for just a couple weeks, so startups have to raise 20x that much to buy a whole year of compute. Once the cluster is online, we're going to be pretty much the only option for startups to do big training runs like that on.

I got laid off at the start of the year, and ever since then, I've been applying constantly but have only gotten one interview. Before being laid off, I held a job as a front-end dev for the previous 5 and a half years. I've had my resume looked at by three different services (TopResume, Indeed, Levels.fyi) and am currently subscribed to Resume Worded, which scores my resume. Despite all these efforts, I keep receiving rejection emails. So, I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else has had any similar experiences with applying for jobs.
