ByteDance orders $1 billion worth of GPUs from Nvidia, and Alibaba Cloud snaps up A100 and H100 in advance

After the release of GPT-4, ByteDance ordered $1 billion worth of GPUs from Nvidia, including 100,000 A100 and H100 units that have arrived and those that have not arrived. In addition, Alibaba Cloud also snapped up a large number of A100 and H100 GPUs in advance. These moves help save costs because Nvidia chip prices are closely related to the development of large models.
