Can OpenAI buy one of the early units? The team was asking me about this earlier today.
OpenAI is unaffiliated with Tesla. It is a non-profit funded by me and a few others with the goal of developing safe AGI (and hopefully not paving the road to hell with good intentions).

This is the first supercomputer that’s selling itself off the web! Demand coming from all over.
First shipment starts end next month. And already taking orders for delivery in September.
I will make sure OpenAI gets one of the first ones.
