Pacific Compute operates as a safety-only cluster for all open-weight labs on both sides of the Pacific. We use this compute to run evaluations on new model releases, and to work with the labs to troubleshoot safety issues as they arise. The first node in Singapore, NVIDIA H200 GPUs, is rented and live.
$200k estimate
Targeting about a $200k spend per major model launch, with smaller iterative model launches having a more modest budget. A clean model may finish well below $200k and a difficult model may run well above it. Unused compute rolls into the next launch, so this number is an approximation rather than a hard cap. What the $200k buys
Compute first
We rent rather than buy, so nothing is stranded if the project ends. The team stays small and salaries modest until the work calls for more. No office, events or communications spend.
US 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship
An established US 501(c)(3) has offered fiscal sponsorship and the agreement is being drafted.
Gradient updates to the model are blocked by default. Every exception is approved by our technical team, only for a problem we are solving with the lab, and logged on the ledger where the other participants can see it.
Every job on a public ledger. Anyone can audit what the compute did.
No owned hardware, so nothing is stranded if the project stops. Unused compute rolls into the next launch.
