		kristopolous 8 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: We were wrong about GPUs They were double wrong. I work at a GPU cloud provider and we can't bring on the machines fast enough. Demand has been overwhelming. People aren't going to fly.io to rent GPUs. That's the actual reality here. They thought they could sidecar it to their existing product offering for a decent revenue boost but they didn't win over the prospect's mind. Fly has compelling product offerings and boring shovels don't belong in their catalog

Sure. If it sounds like we're saying "cloud GPUs are not a product anybody wants", absolutely not. They're just not a knockout hit for us.

But why not add an option to rent them out without too many abstractions?

Because that's not what we're in business to do.
