I'm a bit surprised by the amount of comments comparing the cost to (often cheap) cloud solutions. Nvidia's value proposition is completely different in my opinion. Say I have a startup in the EU that handles personal data or some company secrets and wants to use an LLM to analyse it (like using RAG). Having that data never leave your basement sure can be worth more than $3000 if performance is not a bottleneck.

100% I see many SMEs not willing to send their data to some cloud black box.

Exactly this. I would happily give $3k to NVIDIA to avoid giving 1 cent to OpenAI/Anthropic.
