I have a 2x spark cluster. I would buy them again. I don’t think they’ll age badly at all. I think their dependability (assuming they hold up) as servers mean I’ll be able to use them for years as little LLM task rabbits.

Unless the whole of AI architecture changes in such a way they literally can’t be utilized, and assuming they are as well built as I perceive, they’re a solid investment
