https://spark.enverge.ai/ a growing platform of nano data centres, focused on "the rest of us". Very light-weight virtualisation layer, great for Grace-Blackwell experiments and general benchmarking.

They've gone up in price a bit now, just like most of the market.

Still a fair option for renting a DGX Spark.

I'm working on something that proves to be more ambitious than initially thought: pure Python notebooks + zero-emission GPUs + git = https://lab.enverge.ai

Currently struggling with an experiment where DeepSeek-R1 is being overly verbose.

There's a smell of pseudo-science here. That weird blend of interesting + plausible with sprinkles of heavy-handed parallels.

After "Isaac Newton, who may have been the smartest person who ever lived" the level of trust fell drastically.

Sure, the periodic table was extremely useful and we were using electricity before we understood it, but we understand LLMs far better, mostly because they are our own creation.

Maybe the lines between exploration, creation and discovery are fuzzy sometimes, but this article tips over into AI propaganda.

Well ... what is independent analysis? The author is not a reporter, but someone who understands business principles.

I think you got the causality the other way around here.

Right, but critiquing with the right perspective is important. Statements about making a loss must contain the entire economic picture, otherwise they simply aren't true at some point.

A business can't be scrutinized unless the units of economics are understood.

Most likely tickling an own itch. Also to validate/invalidate if sanity wasn't lost.

Plus, Ed's articles have been circulated in some investment groups and nobody expressed a clear counter-point.

PS. I wasn't familiar with that saying.

> because the average person is bad at explaining what they want an LLM to do

Agreed. It's the saving grace for most platform which integrate LLMs even right now. Eg. v0 narrows the scope of general purpose LLMs and offers educated guides.

A lot of attention is aimed at the huge investment rounds, cash burned into training foundation models (the trillions mentioned by Sam A.) and not enough analysts explain the units of economics to understand a business.

If you wonder why investors still think it’s a good idea to part with their money, I tried to break down the economic units and long term potential how all this could make sense.

Partial TL;DR

- Cash burn is not a fair approximation for COGS. OpenAI spends mostly on R&D like a pharmaceutical company does. - ChatGPT 4o could be making more than 12.8% in gross margin. - ChatGPT OSS 120B could be making 89% gross margin. It is 90% cheaper than 4o-mini with equivalent reasoning and 3x faster inference. - ChatGPT 5's gross margin is most likely to fall between 12.8% and 89%.

As long as you're not going too far down the "the hammer will start using itself" path.

Recursive feedback loops and fast pace of improvements are priced in.

Agreed on the minimal-chargeable-bar point. The beauty arises when juniors grow.

I have tried quite a few and would defo agree with your conclusion. Also not fully buying the "you're holding it wrong" answers.

I point at long such lists of tools only to indicate a certain level of complexity, which will most likely fall in the realm of "oh, this is too technical for me. I should delegate this to Alice, because she good with tech". This is only shifting the problems and problems mean opportunity.

Absolutely.

When complexity grows and lines between boundries of what's what blur, opportunity for misunderstanding sneaks in.

We should welcome scrutiny, though.
