  "account": "Yesterday, a staggering AI supercomputer was listed for sale on eBay for a cool $60 million. Core 4 Solutions, a company that provides IT hardware to industry giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and even the US Department of Justice, posted the 300-rack cluster on their website. Each rack within the cluster boasts four compute nodes, each equipped with eight Nvidia A100 40 GB GPUs, eight Nvidia Connect network interface cards, and two AMD EPYC 64-core CPUs. The system also includes 1 TB of DDR4 memory and three 1U management nodes, each featuring two EPYC CPUs. This arrangement results in an impressive 9,600 GPUs and 4,200 CPUs. The Nvidia A100 GPU, a discontinued enterprise-level GPU built on the Ampere architecture, is specifically designed for AI workloads and data analytics, delivering an impressive 6,912 CUDA cores per GPU. The $59.7 million listing concluded on October 28, but whether the racks were sold remains unclear. If you reside in the United States, you could have received the racks free of charge through FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery. What makes this deal particularly enticing is the 1.4 petabytes of memory included, which is enough for roughly 90,000 gaming rigs. This highlights the immense expenditure on AI infrastructure by companies worldwide, raising questions about the cost of artificial intelligence.",
