Ripple co-founder Jed McCaleb\u2019s nonprofit Navigation Fund is helping to tackle the AI chip shortage by offering leasable capacity large machine learning models. A new cloud was officially launched on Oct. 29 that will be accessible on an hourly, monthly or long-term basis.<\/p>\n

An organization called Voltage Park \u201ccurrently offer[s] bare-metal access for large-scale users that need peak performance\u201d and expects to expand its service by early 2024, according to a statement on its website. It has around 24,000 NVIDIA H100 graphics processing units (GPUs) grouped into interconnected clusters. Voltage Park is a subsidiary of Navigation Fund.<\/p>\n

The hardware is worth $500 million. Clusters will be set up in Texas, Virginia and Washington, Voltage Park CEO Eric Park told Reuters. Park joined the organization in July.<\/p>\n

Voltage Park is currently auctioning off contracts with lengths of one-to-three months on 1,560 GPUs. It said in its announcement:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market for cutting-edge ML compute is broken. Startups, researchers and even big AI labs are scrambling to buy or rent access to the latest chips for ML training. [\u2026] We\u2019re on a mission to make machine learning infrastructure accessible to all.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Navigation Fund was founded in 2023 with plans to provide a small number of grants this year and expand its programs in early 2024. It plans to advance a number of causes in addition to \u201csafe AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

Billionaire McCaleb created Mt. Gox to trade Magic: The Gathering cards, then repurposed it as a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange and sold it in 2011, three years before its collapse. He went on to become a co-founder of Ripple Labs and, after leaving Ripple on bad terms with the rest of the management, he co-founded the Stellar blockchain. He also created a space station startup in 2022 that has partnered with Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX. <\/p>\n
