Gartner: 80% of AI GPU cloud providers may fail by 2030, but used GPUs remain in demand · 2 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Gartner has issued a warning regarding the financial viability of neocloud providers, companies that rent GPU computing power for AI development. The research firm forecasts that over 80% of these providers may cease independent operations or be acquired by 2030 due to the immense investment required for AI infrastructure. Despite concerns about profitability, the demand for older-generation GPUs, such as NVIDIA's H100 and A100, remains strong, with rental prices increasing and contracts extending years into the future. This suggests that while the business models of neocloud providers are under pressure, the underlying value and utility of used data center GPUs persist. AI

IMPACT Pressures neocloud providers to find sustainable economic models, while demand for older GPUs suggests continued hardware value.
