My startup (Hot Aisle) is all about building, managing and deploying dedicated compute clusters for businesses. At the enterprise level of compute, there is a lot that goes into making this happen, so we are effectively the capex / opex for businesses that don't want to do this themselves, but want to have a lot more control over the compute they are running on.
The twist is that while we can deploy any compute that our customers want, we are starting with AMD instead of Nvidia. The goal is to work towards offering alternatives to a single provider of compute for all of AI.
You can't do this for others unless you also do it for yourself. As such, we're building our own first cluster of 16x Dell chassis with 128 MI300x GPUs deployed into a Tier 5 data center as our initial rollout. Full technical details are on our website. It has been a long road to get here and we hope to be online and available for rental at the end of this month.
One of my goals has also been to get Dell / AMD / Advizex (our var) to offer compute credits on our cluster. Those credits would then get turned around into future purchases to grow into more clusters. It becomes a developer flywheel... the more developers on the hardware, the more hardware needed, the more we buy. This is something unfamiliar to their existing models, so wish me luck in convincing them. Hopefully this announcement helps my story. =)
Edit: Getting downvoted. Would love to hear some dialog for why. I don't really consider this an advertisement, so apologies if you're clicking that button for that reason. I'm really just excited about learning about validation of my business model and explaining why.
