Hi HN -

Voltage Park is a GPU cloud powered by Nvidia H100s. We own and manage the infrastructure and currently have over 7,000 H100s live. We will be launching an additional 17,000 H100s in the next 2 months.

Today, we are launching our H100 Auction Platform with 1,000+ GPUs live. This platform gives users on-demand access to compute for AI training, fine-tuning, and inference. We are growing the platform to over 5,000 H100s in the next month.

We created the Auction Platform to make the process of procuring GPUs more transparent and simple. It allows you to see the supply and price of GPUs in real-time. Place an order for the number of GPUs you need and get near-instant access to the compute.

We have been running this on-demand auction platform for the past 2 months in Beta. Early customers include Luma AI, 273 Ventures and Mirelo.ai. One great customer comment so far: “I love using Voltage Park auction. It's so empowering to know we can spin up high-perf GPU nodes if we need them at affordable prices." -- Carl Johann SIMON (CEO, mirelo.ai)

We will be hosting a Zoom on Thursday, May 9th at 12pm PT to go over the platform in more detail and answer any questions you may have. Please email ozan [at] voltagepark [dot] com if you would like to attend.

We love the curiosity and spirit of the HN community, so please let us know what feedback you have. Our goal is to make machine learning accessible to all and this is just the start!

Congrats on the launch! This is huge, and it's really cool to see a cloud provider moving this direction - auction pricing for customers so that you always know you're getting the best deal on the market, while providing 100% utilization for you :)

I'm curious what some of the numbers mean: e.g. what does 688/1464 GPUs available indicate in the left gray box? What about there being 1040 GPUs in light gray, and 8 in dark gray?

Thanks Jonathan! Awesome to hear that you're excited about the auction.

Great questions on the auction system dashboard. The left gray box indicates how many GPUs are available for on-demand access. So in your specific example, 688/1464 GPUs means that 688 GPUs (out of a total available pool of 1464 H100s) are ready to be rented. Finally, the 1040 GPUs and 8 GPUs all indicate GPUs that are currently being allocated to customers.

Edit to add: the 1040 GPUs are orders that are below the current market price.
