AI overview

On October 25, 2026, Yuchen Jin relayed a claim from a friend at a new lab (neolab): even if the lab cannot train the best models, it can still profit from GPU compute it locked in early. According to the relayed account, rental prices for H100, B200, and B300 have risen 2–3 times, so reselling compute is effectively "printing money." Yuchen Jin commented on this, saying, "Well, that's the business model." Currently, this claim comes only from this one relayed account; no other independent sources or official information have confirmed it, and there have been no further developments.
