Per HIVE Digital Technologies CEO Aydin Kilic, some GPUs are retaining as much as 80% of their value years after being deployed 🤯 The reason? AI demand is insatiable. "Obviously China has a huge amount of demand and they're trying to get whatever GPUs they can. Maybe they can't...

CoreWeave $CRWV CEO Michael Intrator, on the Big Technology Podcast, providing what I believe is the most compelling rebuttal to the narrative that GPUs only have a 2 to 3-year useful life. CoreWeave's customers are the world's most sophisticated users of GPUs, and they are signing contracts to utilize today's GPUs for the next 5 years, despite Nvidia's new product release cadence resulting in more efficient GPUs every 1-2 years. The use-case for the GPUs might change over time as Nvidia rolls out new products (e.g. older chips are moved from training to inference workloads), but the "usefulness" does not. "The most important tool that I have for understanding what the depreciation curve or the obsolescence curve of compute is not what I think, right? It's not what some historic short (seller) thinks. It's what are the buyers, the most sophisticated companies in the world are willing to pay for today. And when they come to me and they put in a contract for a 5-year deal or 6-year deal, in what world do I not think that they who are the consumers of this understand that there are new, more powerful chips coming out? Of course they do. They understand it, but they also understand what their various use cases are. And they're saying to themselves, "I'm going to buy this because I'm going to need it today. I'm going to need it in 3 years, and I'm going to need it in 5 years"... My opinions around depreciation are informed by the only entities that get to vote in my world, which are the folks that are paying for the compute over time."

CoreWeave CEO: The GPU Depreciation Debate is Nonsense Being Pushed by Short Sellers CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator: “ My take on the GPU depreciation debate is that it's nonsense.” “It's a debate that is being brought to the forefront by some traders that have a short position in the stock and they're trying to talk down.” “Look, here's what we know when we buy infrastructure: we're a success-based company, right? We're a small company, on a relative basis, compared to the enormous companies that we're competing with.” “And so our clients come into us and they buy compute for five years, for six years. Our average contract is five years.” “So any commentary by anyone, either inside or outside of the industry, that this stuff becomes obsolete in 16 months or whatever nonsense they're spewing, it doesn't in any way match up with the facts on the ground.” “The fact on the ground is, they're buying it for five years.” “And my approach to this has always been, if people are willing to pay me for it, it still has value. Pretty simple way of approaching it.” “We use a six year depreciation. We believe that the GPUs will last in excess of six years, but we felt like that was a fair and reasonable approach to a technology cycle that's moving at this velocity.” ------------------------------------------ Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.
