Investors like Nat Freeman and Daniel Gross acquired H100s worth $100 million to provide computing access to startups but as GPU availability increased, firms like Conviction reduced orders and sold servers. Sequoia Capital called a peak to the GPU supply shortage in late 2023. The essay 'AI's $600 billion question' highlights the gap between revenue expectations and actual revenue growth in the AI ecosystem, estimated at $500 billion by David Khan. This calculation is based on Nvidia's revenue forecast, reflecting the total cost of AI data centers where GPUs account for half.
Sequoia recently published a blog post about AI's $600B problem. The piece has been used as evidence that AI is a massive bubble. NLW argues that the piece isn't actually arguing what people think it's arguing. Read the original piece: https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/ais-600b-question/
