My entire job at Databricks:
Step 1: Buy a sh*tload of GPUs
Step 2: Read DeepSeek blogs
Step 3: Profit
Yuchen Jin jokes Databricks' job is buying GPUs and reading DeepSeek blogs
AIYuchen Jin jokes that his entire Databricks job consists of buying GPUs, reading DeepSeek blogs, and profiting. The post is a reaction to DeepSeek's disclosure that one cluster serves 155 trillion tokens per day at $38 revenue per GPU-hour off-peak.

“A single cluster currently serves 155 trillion tokens/day, generating $38 in revenue per GPU-hour (at off-peak pricing).” Huge flex from DeepSeek. Not only did they open-source their inference engine, but they also open-sourced their revenue numbers. They didn't disclose which GPUs they're using here, but DeepInfer supports both NVIDIA Blackwell and Huawei Ascend. Even assuming they're renting B300s at $7 per GPU-hour, that's ~82% gross margin.
