@j wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy them?
@beardalaxy the yearly price is about half of what it costs to just buy an A100. So you'd get the A100 and then when the next card comes out you'd get that for the same price as just buying the card. It's way cheaper if you are doing AI and need the best performance. However the downside is that you don't own your hardware. It's just Hardware as a Service.
