Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Now a real product with a named first commercial customer (IONOS) and an LRZ production evaluation, which lifts it above pure vendor-claim status, but 8 GOPS sustained today plus no independent third-party benchmark means it stays a watch item, not an adoption candidate for any pv workload.
Next
Watch for the first genuinely third-party-measured benchmark and for the IONOS rollout to go live with disclosed scale; revisit when the 1,000 GOPS (2026 roadmap) milestone is demonstrated, not just claimed.
