Voltage Park, a non-profit organization backed by cryptocurrency billionaire Jed McCaleb, has announced the launch of a cloud computing cluster comprising 24,000 GPUs. The initiative aims to serve the rapidly-growing machine learning (ML) compute market, which has been grappling with challenges such as long-term contracts and expensive GPU rental rates. The launch is not just about numbers, but also about accessibility, with Voltage Park offering bare-metal access, short-term leases, and hourly billing. The team is already providing services to other startups and is working on providing infrastructure for well-known names in the AI space. After the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT last year, the demand for advanced AI silicon has skyrocketed, with businesses now in a race for AI supremacy.
