Why GPU Server Prices Are Unpredictable

Soaring demand for a limited supply of memory chips and other components has quickly pushed up prices for the Nvidia AI servers those chips go into, particularly over the last few months. That’s made it more difficult for cloud providers that buy the servers to create budgets and predict future costs, and has prompted many of them to raise prices for their AI developer customers, according to conversations with server...

The prompt I typed was short. “Based on everything you know about me, describe my personality. Be detailed. Don’t flatter me.” I expected the usual ChatGPT shape — a careful profile heavy on words like “thoughtful” and “curious,” soft on anything that would actually sting. That was not what I got.  A note before I ... Read more Read more

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn't like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That's some magic trick - making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it. Part of this is explained by the fact that the $399 price includes "eco-validated" RAM and storage, which means they're... Read more
