You can rent 10k H100 for 20 days with that money. Go and knock yourself out because that compute is probably higher than what DeepSeek received for that money. And that is public cloud pricing for single H100. I'm sure if you ask for 10k H100 you'll get them at half price so easily 40 days of training.
DeepSeek has fooled everyone by telling them that they need only so less money and people think that they only need to "buy" $5M worth of GPU but that's wrong. The money is the training costs of renting the GPU training hours.
Somebody had to install the 10k GPUs and that's paying $300M to Nvidia.
