ClusterMAX™ 2.1#

The 2.1 update adds a small set of new providers to the ClusterMAX rating system. This is not a full re-test of all providers. ClusterMAX 3.0 testing is underway, focusing on the latest hardware. In this update we:

• Published the “How Much Do GPUs Really Cost?” research note analyzing total cost across three representative scenarios.
• Published the GPU Cluster TCO Calculator and Goodput Expense Calculator, which will be applied in future analysis of all providers.
• Added new providers to the ranking system as they became available for testing.
• Moved four newly tested providers into the Bronze tier based on initial evaluations.
• Moved several serious providers into the “Unavailable” category as they prepare to launch.
