But even in that article, it mentions that H100 are not in high demand anymore but the H20 is. Same message as this article.

Deepseek killed a lot of AI labs looking to train their own model. Thus, H100 is not in high demand. But inferencing Deepseek is in high demand and the H20 is better for that task apparently.
