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.

The price seems relatively competitive even compared to other local alternatives like "build your own PC". I'd definitely buy one of this (or even two if it works really well) for developing/training/using models that currently run on cobbled together hardware I got left after upgrading my desktop.
