GenAI is revolutionizing every industry in the world, yet we are still at the very beginning. As the appetite for GenAI continue to grow exponentially, the demand for GPU instances grows exponentially with that resulting in a biggest problem on our generation - how do we get more GPU capacity? In order to solve it as an industry we need to (1) tackle both the production scale of GPUs, and (2) optimize usage of existing scarce GPU resources to do more with less.
The second bucket is where our team comes in the picture. Large cloud providers are spending billions already on GPU resources and resources are distributed in a Silo fashion to teams where they are unable to utilize the resources to its fullest extent, whether due to peak/off-peak seasonality or workloads completely sooner than expected during vacation. As we looked at the data and saw 15-30% idle capacity across GPU allocation, this then presented a huge opportunity for us to tackle.
