Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Real, deployed, full-spec inference silicon with credible efficiency economics, but captive to Azure, with a delay-marred track record and unproven independent performance
Next
Evaluate via Azure once Maia SDK preview matures and a second region is live; benchmark real inference workloads before shifting any from Nvidia/GPU instances
