First convince the DRAM suppliers to drop their prices for you and then maybe nvidia will drop the DGX price for you too.

nVidia could make DRAM themselves, but I heard it is much more complex than making a GPU...

nvidia doesn't make chips -- nvidia designs chips and TSMC or Samsung or whatever foundry makes the chips. nvidia can't build either GPUs or ASICs.

they are selling the shovels not the gold

you wouldn't be happy then either

imo a 512GB DGX cluster for $20k is not a bad price for an enterprise that wants to do on prem LLMs. Gatekeeping is a weird way to put “running a business”
