Original: Nvidia GPUs sit idle in Meta's Prometheus

Meta's Prometheus supercluster is reportedly holding tens of thousands of Nvidia GPUs that sit idle, waiting to be swapped in when other units fail. The setup means a large share of Meta's AI hardware is not doing useful work at any given moment, raising questions about how efficiently the company is using its massive infrastructure investment.

Why now: Reports of expensive AI hardware sitting unused come amid scrutiny of big tech's enormous spending on AI datacentres.
