PHYSIX OBSERVATION

GPU supply has spread from a few cloud giants to hundreds of suppliers. Buyers appear to have more choices, but this actually reflects that compute remains in short supply. Oracle's bring-your-own-hardware model shows that even large cloud providers are unwilling to bear GPU capital expenditure alone. For users, getting cards in the short term depends on relationships, while long-term costs depend on suppliers' financing capacity; choosing wrong could mean delivery delays.
