Coreweave intially loaded up on GPUs to mine Ethereum, made money off that during the boom, then pivoted to being a GPU cloud, and found themselves with all these GPUs in the ML/AI bubble. Amazing run.

Mining used consumer GPUs which are not allowed to be used for datacenters. So I doubt they managed to reuse the hardware

No mining GPUs are in their fleet anymore, that's long gone. It's all datacenter GPUs as per their website.

Not allowed can only effectively mean they cannot ask for support. At this point everything is out of warranty.

No not allowed in the sense of you’ll be sued. There’s a prior exception for using consumer GPUs to crypto mine in a data center.
