Soumith Chintala shared a post highlighting that $200 per month is sufficient to rent access to an NVIDIA H100 GPU for approximately 6 hours every workday, making high-end AI compute more accessible than many assume. This suggests that serious machine learning experimentation and model training on cutting-edge hardware is within reach for individual researchers or developers on modest budgets. The post likely aims to counter the perception that H100s are prohibitively expensive for non-enterprise users.
