Why it matters
The company found that owning GPUs is economically attractive, noting that the cost of an H200 GPU can be recovered in about a year compared to renting equivalent cloud computing capacity. This investment supports AI-led development across Raise's platforms. Despite the push toward AI, Raise maintains that human oversight is necessary for critical trading and risk-management functions.
