Running them isn't. AWS charges $6.88/hr per H100. io.net charges $2.79/hr. Same silicon, same Llama 3.1 70B weights off Hugging Face. The model isn't the moat. The GPUs are. The real inference cartel is the hyperscalers" ### Post #4 by @EmirzadeArif > **Author:** Arif Emirzade ([@EmirzadeArif](https://x.com/EmirzadeArif)) > **Metrics:** 22 likes · 0 retweets · 5 comments · 1.0K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-04T15:59:31+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/EmirzadeArif/status/2084670578288374012](https://x.com/EmirzadeArif/status/2084670578288374012) > > "My belief in the future of altcoin season is 100% Even if I'm the last one left, I'll wait here, and when I have money, I'll buy. $Tia $ena $eigen $io $btc $eth Altcoins" ### Post #5 by @vnkaveri > **Author:** Kaveri ([@vnkaveri](https://x.com/vnkaveri)) > **Metrics:** 15 likes · 0 retweets · 14 comments · 498 views > **Posted:** 2026-08-04T09:57:35+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/vnkaveri/status/2084579491817627941](https://x.com/vnkaveri/status/2084579491817627941) > **Visual Note:** A Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with three fans, displayed on top of its retail packaging on a workbench. > > "The @ionet community event is still ongoing!
