Ask HN: How do you handle uncertain GPU capacity needs months in advance?If your product has variable or spiky compute requirements, how do you secure capacity when you know you may need a large GPU block in a few weeks or months, but are uncertain about the timing or quantity?The apparent choices are to reserve capacity in advance and risk underutilizing it, or wait and accept price and availability risk in the on-demand market. I’m curious how inference providers, enterprises running fine-tunes or evals, and teams with batch or seasonal workloads handle this in practice.In particular: - How far forward do you reserve capacity? - How frequently do you end up underusing reservations? - Can providers resize, defer, or release commitments?I know that larger cloud providers like AWS and CoreWeave have flexixbility/credits, but if you're largely getting bare metal capacity from Neoclouds, how do you handle this?

By the time I finally made the call, I'd lost a major opportunity to a competitor.The issue wasn't lack of information. I had all the data I needed. The issue was that I was trying to process a high-stakes, unstructured decision using the same exhausted brain that was debugging code, managing stakeholders, and worrying about deadlines all day.My "RAM" was at 99% capacity, and I was trying to run an infinite-loop algorithm on it.This happens whether you're: - A founder deciding on pricing - An engineer choosing between architectures - A VP deciding whether to hire or outsource - A researcher picking which direction to pursue - Anyone making high-stakes calls with incomplete informationWhat I've Tried: 1. Journaling - Too unstructured, just dumps thoughts without clarity 2. Talking to friends/colleagues - They're to
