Hmm who's this for? vast.ai seems far more reputable and competitive: https://cloud.vast.ai/create/ Why would I bother getting in touch with a random seller when there's a whole eco-system already in existence?

I expected this to be actual GPUs for sale

Relevant context: this is being headed by Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman.

Am I misunderstanding something, or are these prices insane?

I can almost visualize future commodity/options/derivatives trading market around underlying GPU per hour rental prices...

You know, a contract to rent a cetain GPU at a certain price per hour for a certain number of hours -- would be sort of like a commodity delivery contract.

Once those are created, then options, but more broadly, financial derivatives -- could be created on top of those...

Once those are created -- they could then be traded, held long, sold short, and otherwise "invested in" and/or "speculated on" -- depending on what terminology one prefers...

Also, to be clear, I'm not saying that this should be done -- only that it could be done...

That is (and pardon this exceptionally bad pun!) -- with respect to trading possibilities around the GPU rental prices market, you could say I am only speculating! :-) <g> :-)

Anyway, thumbs up for GPUlist!

Can you add the cost of the minimum reservation inline too? E.g. if it were $1/gpu/hr and "Minimum 1 GPU for 1 week" then make that text "Minimum 1 GPU for 1 week ($168)". This would allow faster comparison between options when on a budget.

If it doesn't have creepy guys making missed connection posts about women they saw and were too afraid to talk to, it's not Craigslist.

Should take it to the next level and make it automatic- AirBnB for gpus

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction - none of my cyberpunk bingo cards had this on it.

This is like vast.ai right? Or is it even the same place?

Limited to only 3 types of GPUs?

Is TensorDock a vast.ai wrapper?
