Yuchen Jin from Databricks says H100 GPU prices now exceed levels from three years ago amid shortages
Yuchen Jin from Databricks reported that the GPU shortage has intensified beyond prior levels. H100 units now carry higher prices than three years earlier with no on-demand supply available because major AI labs have secured the bulk of production under multi-year commitments. The constraints limit access for university researchers and independent developers. Responding quote posts highlighted ongoing heavy use of A100 GPUs and questioned expectations of rapid obsolescence for current-generation hardware.

H100s cost more today than they did 3 years ago, and you cannot get them on-demand.
The big AI labs have locked up most of the supply for years. I’m worried university researchers and individual developers simply won’t be able to get GPUs.
#687Bojan Tunguz@TUNGUZSo much for technological obsolescence of GPUs.
