The NVIDIA DGX Station A100 has a list price of $149k, I believe. It's a workstation that's advertised as an "AI data center in a box":

That looks like it would be an absolute hoot to experiment with, but I don't know what I could possibly do with one that would generate a return on $150K. What would you do?


In some circumstances making a hedge fund model 0.001% better would return 10x that.

John Carmack tweeted about buying one a while back. I'm not sure if a DGX on your desk does anything for working with ML at the bleeding edge, though, since those all run on megaclusters of A100s or TPUs.


What's he doing with it?
