Hey HN, I'm James, a 17-year old full-stack engineer from Canada with a strong passion for building software.

Hi HN, we are Ed, Zach, and Ronald, creators of Shadeform (https://www.shadeform.ai/), a GPU marketplace to see live availability and prices across the GPU market, as well as to deploy and reserve on-demand instances. We have aggregated 8+ GPU providers into a single platform and API, so you can easily provision instances like A100s and H100s where they are available. From our experience working at AWS and Azure, we believe that cloud could evolve from all-encompassing hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) to specialized clouds for high-performance use cases.
