Tenstorrent and the State of AI Hardware Startups | Hacker News
I have a business renting high performance compute. I want to democratize compute to make it more easily available on short term basis to anyone who wants access. I talked to TT about a year ago; also one of their customers as well. I was really impressed with everyone I talked to and I'd love to work with them. What I realized though is that as much as I'd like to buy and host it and make it available, I'm not sure the economics or interest are there yet. The focus today is so dedicated to Nvidia that "fringe" gear is still just that. People who really want to play with it, will just buy it themselves. They've probably been doing that with hardware for a long time. So, it is a bit of a catch-22 for me right now. Hopefully interest grows in these sorts of offerings and demand will pick up. The world needs alternatives to just Nvidia dominance of all of AI hardware and software.
