Earlier this year, Bushuyeu discovered a startup called B3 Labs that offers dedicated GPU hardware on a rent-to-own basis under the brand B3IQ. For practical purposes, B3IQ customers can arrange for the machine to be assembled on their own premises or, more practically, ask the company to host it at its 27,000-square-foot facility in Oregon. While New York-based B3IQ only started offering its rent-to-own compute services this year, the startup is notching a growing number of customers. This led the founders to develop expertise in building and operating GPU powered machines, which they honed in running the Oregon data center. B3IQ is hardly the only firm to offer alternatives to buying GPU machines outright.
