  • Correction Correction: Cluster-ledger dates, an unsourced chip count and two citations were wrongBuildout

    Was: The cluster ledger dated Stargate Saline's announcement to Jun 1, 2026 and Reliance Jamnagar's to Jan 2025, gave Stargate Abilene ~450K GB200/GB300-class accelerators with no source behind the figure, and cited the wrong sources for claims on Fairwater Wisconsin and Stargate Argentina. Corrected to: Stargate Saline's announcement was dated Oct 30, 2025 and Jamnagar's Aug 29, 2024; Abilene was given ~403K B200/B300 projected at full buildout, labeled as a tracker estimate; and both claims were given their own sources. Where: /buildout cluster ledger; buildout.json. Found by a scheduled survey.

  • Correction Correction: Microsoft's 2023 capex was understatedFinancials

    Was: Microsoft's calendar-2023 capital expenditure read $41.0B. Corrected to: $41.2B, the sum of Microsoft's four quarterly investor-relations figures, finance leases included. Where: /buildout capex chart and table; homepage capex chart and table. Found by a scheduled survey.

  • Correction Correction: Two desk-log entries read a venue change and a partial archive as price recordsGPU quotes

    Was: The desk log said “RTX 4090 floor cut −38.5%”, but Salad's lower tier had entered the comparison while Vast.ai's price rose. It also said “B200 floor at $6.25 — lowest in the archive's 81-day span”, but the daily price ledger shows $4.19 on Aug 5, 2026. Corrected to: The log was changed to record a changed venue set as a venue change with its like-for-like move, and to claim a floor low only when the full daily ledger holds nothing lower in its span. The RTX 4090 entry became a venue change; the B200 floor-low entry was withdrawn. Where: /log; RSS feed. Found by a review of published pages and data. Corrected again on Oct 20, 2026: Vast.ai marketplace prices were published although Vast's terms bar their use in price comparisons.

  • Correction Correction: Chip-page price ranges hid that an endpoint was an old estimateGPU quotes

    Was: Chip pages printed all-market ranges such as “All-market access $1.99 → $6.00” on MI300X without saying that the $1.99 endpoint is a secondary estimate observed on Jul 6, 2026. Corrected to: Ranges were changed to print an estimated endpoint's est flag and its own observation date, so the MI300X range marked $1.99 as an estimate observed on Jul 6, 2026. Where: all-market ranges on the chip pages. Found by a scheduled survey. Corrected again on Oct 20, 2026: Prices from five GPU clouds whose terms bar reuse, and three aggregator estimates, were published.

  • Correction Correction: Year-on-year and streak figures compared unlike seriesGPU quotes

    Was: The B200 tile read “+42% y/y”, a change computed by array position across a missing quarter and a methodology change. Streak copy called a single quarter near $3.99 a run of “straight quarters”, and each ticker arrow came from a different series than the value beside it. Corrected to: Changes were made to follow calendar quarters within one methodology and to compare only the venues quoted at both ends; at the correction the B200 tile read “+16.9% like-for-like since Jul 23, 2026”. Streak copy was made to need at least two quarters, and each arrow to come from the series its value shows. Where: homepage B200 tile, lede and brief; market tape arrows; chip mastheads and The Board deltas; /gpu-cloud quote-snapshot read. Found by a review of published pages and data. Corrected again on Oct 20, 2026: Prices from five GPU clouds whose terms bar reuse, and three aggregator estimates, were published.

  • Correction Correction: Quotes last observed on Jul 23 were dated to a later surveyGPU quotes

    Was: Vast.ai rows last observed on Jul 23, 2026 (H100 $1.73, H200 $3.93 and B300 $8.34 per GPU-hour) were cited with the date of the manual survey (Oct 11) in the H100, H200 and B300 chip-page FAQs and their structured data, and the H100 row also in the homepage lede and brief. Corrected to: Each cited row was given its own observation date (“last observed Jul 23, 2026”), and the chip-page FAQ's cheapest-venue answer was changed to name the cheapest primary on-demand row separately from the marketplace-access floor. Where: H100, H200 and B300 chip-page FAQ and FAQPage JSON-LD; homepage H100 lede and brief; venue-spread tile and notes; /gpu-cloud venue-spread panel. Found by a review of published pages and data. Corrected again on Oct 20, 2026: Vast.ai marketplace prices were published although Vast's terms bar their use in price comparisons.

  • Correction Correction: Three quotes stayed listed after their sources stopped publishing themGPU quotes

    Was: Google Cloud (A4) B200 on-demand at $16.11 (est) stayed in the table although Google's pricing page shows no on-demand A4 price, and so did FluidStack H200 at $2.30 (est), although FluidStack publishes no GPU prices, and SF Compute H100 at $2.04, a market price SF Compute no longer publishes. The first two set the B200 all-market ceiling and the H200 all-market floor. Corrected to: All three were retired from the quote table. With the Oct 14, 2026 update, the B200 all-market ceiling became AWS (p6) at $14.24 and the H200 all-market floor Vast.ai at $3.93. Where: B200, H200 and H100 quote tables on /gpu-cloud and the chip pages; B200 and H200 all-market ranges. Found by a scheduled survey. Corrected again on Oct 20, 2026: Vast.ai marketplace prices were published although Vast's terms bar their use in price comparisons.

  • Correction Correction: Vultr plans that cannot be rented on demand were listed as on-demand quotesGPU quotes

    Was: Four Vultr bare-metal plans that Vultr's plans API marks as not deployable on demand, with no locations, were listed as On-demand rows: H100 $2.99, B200 $8.50, MI300X $3.99 and MI355X $2.59 per GPU-hour. They made MI355X the cheapest dense compute on /hardware, set its chip-page title to “from $2.59”, and were the only venue in the daily H100 and B200 specialist medians. Corrected to: The rule became that a Vultr plan counts as on-demand only when Vultr lists it as deployable on demand in at least one location. The four rows were retired from the quote table in the Oct 14, 2026 refresh, and no headline used them after it. Where: H100, B200, MI300X and MI355X quote tables on /gpu-cloud and the chip pages; /hardware price per PFLOP-hour leader; MI355X chip-page title; daily H100 and B200 specialist-median history. Found by a review of published pages and data. Corrected again on Oct 24, 2026: Retired Vultr plans returned as the MI300X and MI355X typical prices.

  • Correction Correction: B200 and Rubin bandwidth came from superseded NVIDIA pagesHardware specs

    Was: B200 bandwidth read 8.0 TB/s, the DGX B200 figure, and Rubin read 22 TB/s with NVLink at 3.6 TB/s from older HGX pages, beside an unverified TSMC 3nm node. Corrected to: HGX B200: 7.7 TB/s per GPU, from the HGX B200 column of NVIDIA's Blackwell datasheet. Rubin: 19.2 TB/s and NVLink 6 at 3 TB/s, from NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 page and datasheet, with no process node because NVIDIA stated none. NVIDIA's own pages disagreed on Rubin at the time, and the chip note said so. Where: /hardware spec table; llms-full.txt accelerator specs; /hardware HBM bandwidth chart. Found by a scheduled survey.

  • Correction Correction: Gaudi 3 throughput used Intel's superseded 2024 figureHardware specs

    Was: Gaudi 3 was listed at 1,835 TF dense BF16 and FP8, the figure in Intel's 2024 Hot Chips deck, with a $15,650 list price. Corrected to: 1,678 TF BF16 and FP8, as Intel's July 2025 white paper (Rev. 3) gives at 900 W, and a $15,625 list price ($125,000 per eight-accelerator kit).

  • Correction Correction: GeForce tensor throughput used the 2× FP16-accumulate ratesHardware specs

    Was: RTX 4090 was listed at 330 TF dense BF16 and 661 TF FP8, and RTX 5090 at 419 TF and 838 TF: NVIDIA's FP16-accumulate rates, twice the FP32-accumulate figures that data-center datasheets give. Corrected to: RTX 4090: 165.2 TF BF16 and 330.3 TF FP8. RTX 5090: 209.5 TF BF16, 419 TF FP8 and 1.68 PF FP4. These are the dense FP32-accumulate rates in NVIDIA's architecture whitepapers, so both cards' rental price per PFLOP-hour doubled. Where: /hardware spec table and price per PFLOP-hour ranking; llms-full.txt accelerator specs. Found by a review of published pages and data.

  • Correction Correction: Smaller hardware fixes: TPU notes, estimate flags, process nodes and a launch monthHardware specs

    Was: TPU v5p's note said it trained Gemini 1.0, TPU v5e's gave its INT8 rate as 394 TOPS, and TPU7x's said capacity required a supported reservation. The V100, A100 and H100 street prices ($10,000, $15,000 and $27,500) carried no estimate flag although only secondary sources give them. A100 and RTX 5090 process nodes read TSMC 7N and TSMC 4NP, and MI355X's launch month read Oct 2025. Corrected to: The notes were changed to say that TPU v5p was announced alongside Gemini 1.0, which was trained on TPU v4 and v5e; that v5e INT8 is 393 TOPS; and that TPU7x had been generally available on demand since March 2026, with quota required. The three street prices were flagged as estimates, the nodes changed to TSMC N7 and TSMC 4N, and MI355X's launch month to Sep 2025.

  • Correction Correction: Maia 200 throughput was approximateHardware specs

    Was: Maia 200 was listed at 5,000 TF FP8 and 10,000 TF FP4, flagged as estimates. Corrected to: 5,072 TF FP8 and 10,145 TF FP4, the peak-specification table in Microsoft's Maia 200 architecture deep dive. Its BF16 peak is a vector-unit rate, so the tensor BF16 field stayed empty.

  • Correction Correction: AMD's MI400-series flagship was listed at half its dense throughputHardware specs

    Was: The Instinct MI400 row read AMD's figures as sparse and halved them: 10 PF FP8 and 20 PF FP4, with no BF16 rate. It also listed 19.6 TB/s, no board power, announced status and a Dec 2026 launch. Corrected to: The row became the Instinct MI455X: 5,033 TF BF16, 20,133 TF FP8 and 40,265 TF MXFP4, which AMD publishes as dense rates, with 23.3 TB/s of HBM4 bandwidth, 2,500 W board power, ramping status and an estimated Oct 2026 launch.
