Hm, so boring from tomorrow to make profits today is catching up with them. Guess I am not surprised.

I dunno about that rational to say there isn't a shortage. I know consumers struggle to buy GPUs, even when they are willing to pay a lot. And a buddy of mine works at a company where they couldn't get enough GPUs for their datacenter and were forced to rent from coreweave.

    Sure there is scarcity in accessing Nvidia supply. Consumer GPU pricing is based on them not making any. There is abundance of GPU time available for training that explains the fast pace of new model version releases. Fast model releases also juice inference revenue as shinny new models get investigated, until next week something better comes along. The bottom line is that burning money on GPUs has plenty of GPUs available to burn it on. Labs would be releasing slower if there wasn't.
