About GPUVault

Who is behind this, where the numbers come from, and why the guides say the awkward parts out loud.

Who writes this

He writes every piece in the guides himself. There is no content team and no freelance byline pool, which is the reason the guides are willing to tell you when renting is the wrong answer.

Where the numbers come from

Every price on this site is read from one table. The hourly rates in an article, the figures in the calculators and the numbers on the model pages all come from the same place, so when a rate moves, every page moves with it the same day. No price is ever typed into an article by hand, which is the only way we know of to stop a pricing page going quietly stale.

The speed figures come from jobs run on our own fleet rather than from a manufacturer's slide. Where a number is an estimate we say so, and where a number makes us look ordinary we publish it anyway. The rent-or-buy piece exists to tell some readers not to rent.

What we actually sell

GPUVault is a marketplace. The cards belong to providers we vet, not to us, and they sit in small data centres, in hosting companies' spare capacity, and on desks in home offices. What we do ourselves is the part every other platform hands back to you: choosing the hardware, installing the model, wiring up an interface and starting the machine, so what you get is a link to something that already works.

Renting is opening in batches. Until it is open, every Launch button is a notify-me instead.
