An extremely large commit with Azure. AFAIK, none of the other non-hyperscaler competitors have access to that much of a compute.

> non-hyperscaler competitors

Well the hyperscale companies are the ones to worry about.

Pretty sure that Meta and X.ai both do.

Not sure why this has been voted down - X.ai has a 100K H100 cluster in Memphis, and Meta either has (by now) or is in process of acquiring 350K H100s!

Unlike the hyperscalers (i.e. cloud providers), Meta has a use for these themselves for inference to run their business on.
