Hyperbolic boosts AI infra with 100 new H100 GPUs at 20% discount

- Hyperbolic adds 100 NVIDIA H100 SXM GPUs - Meeting the Growing Demand for GPT-4 Training Infrastructure and Enhancing Price Competitiveness [Unblock Media] AI infrastructure startup Hyperbolic has acquired an additional 100 state-of-the-art NVIDIA H100 SXM GPUs, gearing up to meet the increasing demand for high-performance computing. The newly announced GPU rental price starts at $1.30 per hour, which is up to 20% cheaper compared to the industry average, drawing significant attention in the market. Hyperbolic stated on its official Twitter channel, "The demand for infrastructure optimized for AI model training is skyrocketing, and we are rapidly expanding to provide high-performance GPUs to meet customer needs." The demand for H100 GPUs has surged, particularly for training and inference processes of the latest large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, Claude 3, Mixtral, and LLaMA 3. The hourly price for the A100 80GB GPU offered by Hyperbolic is $1.99, about 20% cheaper than the $2.50 charged by competitor XYZ for the same specifications. Additionally, monthly contracts come with further discounts, making it especially advantageous for AI research labs or startups needing long-term resource operation. A representative from Hyperbolic said, "In large-scale tasks where model training takes several days, price competitiveness is synonymous with survival." Hyperbolic is presenting a GPU strategy closely aligned with current AI trends. The NVIDIA H100 SXM GPU is particularly optimized for training large models, based on NVLink and NVSwitch architecture, thereby maximizing computational efficiency for transformer-based models and providing a high-speed parallel processing environment. Industry experts view Hyperbolic's recent infrastructure expansion as a critical solution for the "GPU resource crisis" affecting the AI development ecosystem. It strategically aligns with the decentralized AI development trend centered around open-source models. Hyperbolic plans to continue advanced infrastructural development by securing more H100 and A100 GPUs and providing an automated agent operating environment. This strategy is expected to strengthen its position as a cost-effective infrastructure provider in the rapidly growing AI startup market. Amid the fierce competition in the AI infrastructure market, Hyperbolic is emerging as a powerful player endowed with the trifecta of "cost-effectiveness, cutting-edge technology, and scalability."
