    This looks desperate. They already sold $300B worth of data center capacity to OpenAI and this move will save them up to $10B.

      They’re supposedly depreciating their GPUs over 7 years. Apparently these data center GPUs are only used for about 3, as the generational improvements in efficiency almost dictate you replace them + the first stragglers start failing around that mark anyway

      They could actually be proper fucked financially if they’re cooking their books like that to seem more profitable than they are.
