24 alternatives to GPU market is absurd! So I built a dashboard of pricing/restock trends

Hey HN! This idea started with me not being able to buy a GPU and constantly losing to bots/scalpers. I figured I'd use this as way to see how far I can get with 'vibe-coding and designing'*. The end result was pretty far! Here are more details of behind the scenes. In a future blog post, I'll detail behind the scenes process of building this. - The landing page is React/Typescript/Tailwind.css (which I've never used before) - The dashboard is based on Evidence.dev - which is SQL queries in Markdown + little bit of custom Javascript for chart formatting (again never used…

    Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…

    Hi HN, YC w24 company here. We just pivoted from drone delivery to build gpudeploy.com, a website that routes on-demand traffic for GPU instances to idle compute resources. The experience is similar to lambda labs, which we’ve really enjoyed for training our robotics models, but their GPUs are never available for on-demand. We are also trying to make it more no-nonsense (no hidden fees, no H100 behind “contact sales”, etc.). The tech to make this work is actually kind of nifty, we may do an in-depth HN post on that soon. Right now, we have H100s, a few RTX 4090s and a GTX 1080 Ti online.…

    Howdy! Keeping with the trend of being influenced by https://diskprices.com, I wanted to make a resource for GPUs on eBay that also take into account a performance metric I tend to look at when checking GPUs. It's still a work in progress, but it's at a state where I think some of HN might find it useful! There are a few things that I have planned to add in the coming day(s): 1. Filters for compatible slots and connectors 2. Expand for different eBay regions, rather than just US focus Let me know if you have any questions or want more / different filters on the page or if I…

    I had this idea rolling around in my head for the last couple of years, and I finally decided to build the damned thing just to get idea relief. The backend is a typical LAMP stack with the Symfony2 framework backing the P. Varnish sits in front of all the Chef managed Linode boxes. The site will work without Javascript (up until the checkout), and the style degrades really nicely depending on your viewport (try it out by resizing your browser). I'm open to all comments and critiques, so let me hear them. And if you are into graphic t-shirts, here is a code for a Hacker News 20% discount:…

    I've made a GPU comparison site: https://gpu-prices.com/US/ Yes, there was one yesterday - I got beaten to it. This one is different in that I've put a lot of work into categorisation, so you can filter down quite precisely. For example, VRAM-per-dollar, limiting to Nvidia, and a minimum performance score allow you to find good ML GPUs. It currently supports Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The tech stack is Python for data pull and static site generation then Cloudflare Pages for actually serving the site. It updates three times a day, but I could increase…

    Out of curiosity, I put together a simple website which tracks the prices for a few variations of A100/H100 GPUs by hour broken out between spot/ondemand, form factor and provider. Specifically I was tailoring the tool towards the smaller, emerging providers like runpod, gpulist.ai, lambda labs etc. Anyone have any ideas to expand/refine it?

    Started PC flipping as a hobby (buying used parts, building PCs, and selling them for a small profit). Found that focusing on used parts on eBay gives the best margins - like finding a GPU 20% below market, pairing it with other deals, and selling the complete build locally. I discovered that eBay marketplaces (.com, .de, .co.uk etc.) often have different prices for the same items! Or just completely different items. So I built an eBay price scanner for PC components. It scans listings across different Ebay markets, calculates median prices, and flags anything selling below market (including…

    Hey folks! I’m Jonathan from TensorDock, and we’re building a cloud GPU marketplace. We want to make GPUs truly affordable and accessible. I once started a web hosting service on self-hosted servers in middle school. But building servers isn’t the same as selling cloud. There’s a lot of open source software to manage your homelab for side projects, but there isn’t anything to commercialize that. Large cloud providers charge obscene prices — so much so that they can often pay back their hardware in under 6 months with 24x7 utilization. We are building the software that allows anyone to become…

    This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

    We built, saga[1] a layer that lets smaller teams access enterprise GPU discounts through collective buying power. How it works: 1. Aggregate GPU spend across hundreds of ML teams 2. Get enterprise rates through combined volume 3. Pass savings to users, monetize via provider partnerships Technical notes: - Works at billing layer only (no access to code/data) - Supports existing cloud setups or managed GPUs - Private beta running since January, opening more spots for March - Currently seeing ~50% savings on H100s/A100s [1] https://trysaga.ai

    Like others, I was inspired by the article on diskprices.com, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 and I thought GPUs would be a good product for this style of site (but I have been beaten to the punch for the GPUprices.com domain). How it's done: I have used the Amazon product API (PAAPI v5), as I had access due to having at least 3 sales with the amazon affiliate program. Using the API and some python code I'm able to curate searches somewhat, removing things like water blocks, laptops and full systems that show up when sorting by price. I have used a static page…

    GPU rental prices are super volatile but there's no derivatives market to hedge. I built a perpetual futures platform to see what this could look like. The idea is airlines hedge jet fuel, starbucks hedges coffee beans - as GPU compute becomes critical infrastructure the same hedging tools should exist. Not sure if anyone actually needs this but it was interesting to build. How it works: - Pulls live H200 spot prices from Vast.ai every 15s into a tradeable index - Full perp mechanics: funding rates, mark price calc, real-time P&L - Event-driven Rust backend with supervisor pattern and…

    It took me about a week to vibe code this 3D game engine with Opus 4.6 that I intend to use as a replacement for Three.js and React Three Fiber in my browser MMORPG, Mana Blade. I was not expecting to be able to reach that point so easily, but pretty much every feature took somewhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour - 1 to 3 prompts on average. It is vibe-coded in the sense that I haven't looked at the code, but I am very careful with my prompts and constantly have Claude reviewing the codebase, looking for performance and code quality improvements. It can reach 2000 draw calls on recent…

    Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

    Hi HN! Lifelong avid gamer here, hugely passionate about WASM and WebGPU. I firmly believe that these technologies will enable console and PC quality titles to be accessible through a browser, and with this, we'll need a new discoverability layer. Looking online, platforms like CrazyGames and Poki cater to a casual/hypercasual demographic, and I couldn't find anything out there that was for me, a core gamer that typically uses Steam and consoles. So I vibe coded my own! It features WASM ports of classic games, as well as some indie Unity titles. The goal is to host mainly WebGPU titles…

    Just a fun lil experiment with headless chrome + nano banana to take a screenshot of your GH contribution graph and then apply a 2-pass AI image filter to create a cool billboard featuring your GH graph. 100% open source & free :) tho I would appreciate any sponsors on github if you like it since API costs can add up.

    We were a part of Boomtown Boulder's second accelerator class, and after a few months of thrashing and pivoting, we feel we've got something pretty cool! We are a new crowdfunding platform with a twist - we let you partner with retail businesses by financing their inventory, helping them with marketing/lead generation and then collecting a return when that inventory sells. What I am personally really excited about, is that because the users are actively engaged throughout the process, this type of investment is not classified as a security and we can offer it to non-accredited…

    Hi HN! Solo developer here. 10 days ago, I started building this after spending countless hours copying/pasting marketing sections and fighting to keep them consistent with our design system. I wondered: "What if AI could understand our design system and generate React components that actually match it?" Current progress (10 days in): - Can generate hero sections that follow your design tokens - Uses your actual component variants and styles - Works with Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui It's very early days, but I'm excited to share it with other devs who: - Are tired of rebuilding…

    Hey HN, I just released Tradofire, a crypto trading app I built using a lot of cursor chatgpt and claude for over a year. The main idea of the app is very simple - to swipe on pre-prepared trading setups (like tinder) and if you right swipe it opens a position. The execution of this simple idea was much more complex and tbh I could not have done it without AI. Here's a quick rundown of the main features: Swipe-to-Trade UI: Quickly initiate long or short positions with intuitive swipe gestures. Real-Time Trade Signals: Get curated crypto signals from the market delivered proactively, helping…
