We started shipping the Nvidia H100 in 2022.
A year ago it rented for $1.96/hour.
Today: $3.10.
+58%, on a chip that was supposed to be obsolete by now.
So much for GPU depreciation.
My weekly 10, Miami edition.
And what a week to be talking about AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA changed leaders. Anthropic moved closer to one of the biggest IPOs ever. Microsoft had a major outage that reminded everyone just how dependent we are on critical digital infrastructure. And election results raised new questions about where, and how quickly, new data centers can actually get built.
I spent the week in Miami at @Official_Cantor Convergence having nearly 100 conversations with institutional investors. The questions were sharp. And remarkably consistent.
Credit. Capital. Customers. Construction. Regulation. Valuation.
But underneath all of them was one bigger question: Are we finally at the point where the market can tell the difference between having a story and being able to deliver?
Here are my Top 10.
At Cantor Convergence this week, @TeraWulfInc CEO @PaulBPrager broke down how megawatts become high-power compute, and why AIโs real bottleneck isnโt just chips. Itโs energized sites.
Paulโs take: the U.S. is short on the power AI requires, and the companies that can deliver AI at scale will set themselves apart.
Demand for compute has never been stronger.
