they use them out of need not out of want: coreweave happened to have the silicon already because it was going to be mining crypto. and in a market where trying to get new silicon is a months-backlog problem...

Oh, I had misunderstood their role in this. So they are more like someone that was already in place for other (scammey) reasons than anyone's preferred partner or middleman? And they are critical enough to be a weak link that breaks first and brings everyone else down?

yeah, their business is as hot air as the worst around, but (at least within the US) there are vanishingly few places to get lots of high-end compute and they're one of the only "free agents"

zitron's analysis about them included a bunch of details re financials and such

Hmm, correction: the other core (the one -weave is relying on) was prepping for coinering

Coreweave is just fucked ito coming finances and wants
