Looks like an exact clone of the Andromeda Cluster built by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross (https://andromeda.ai/.

Last I checked, P5 EC2 instances on AWS (H100s on AWS) are insanely expensive. Not sure how this startup will be able to compete with on-prem prices without eating the cost themselves.

Well, if you look at the company behind it, their whole thing seems to be optimizing cloud costs so maybe that has some part in it?

But yeah they were definitely "inspired" by Andromeda Cluster


TBH i found the nat.css thing to be funny. Interesting to see so many tools like this building on top of AWS, wonder what AWS thinks about it given their most recent earnings report


AWS makes it almost impossible for startups to get access to GPUs, so this would help a lot of startups out significantly if done right. A lot depends on what “cheap” means though…


True, nothing on AWS seems cheap these days :(


As a college student, I have a hard time getting access to GPUs through AWS. If I can deploy using this + my credits, would be huge


I love the nat.css! Would love to see more startups building simple landing pages like this


Same, so simple for a landing page. You really don't need more if it's done right


Looks interesting, I wonder if this works for companies on AWS startup credits as well


Think that would be a game changer if so, afaik AWS prioritizes the large AI companies (Hugging Face, Anthropic, etc) when it comes to access for GPUs
