The two scariest words in GPU ownership: "Trust us." Ask for the serial number instead. Happy Halloween 🎃

Small clause, big deal: Ask us for a written statement of your holdings and you get one. Device serial numbers, Fraction indices. Free, up to four times a year. Ownership you can't check isn't ownership. It's a screenshot.

Weekend question: Should every GPU co-owner be able to see their machine's idle hours? Even in a slow week. Even when it doesn't look good. Yes, no, or "depends"? Tell us why.

Our week, in four lines: Mon: we went on camera. Tue: seven things we'll never promise. Wed: Basic vs Black, two machines, two Compute Units. Thu: what we put in writing instead. What should we answer next?

Hardware fails. What matters is what happens next. When one of our Devices dies, its co-owners hear within 10 business days. Holders of 75% of its Fractions then choose: → replace it with equal or better hardware, and the Fractions move across → or wind it up, and the insurance and residual value split pro rata It's in the contract. Would you vote replace, or wind up?

Same B200, this week: Middle of the market: $6.82/hr. AWS: $14.24/hr. About 2x for the same chip. A renter pays the rate. What reaches owners depends on the hours it's actually rented and what it costs to run. The headline rate tells you the least.

Promises are cheap. Clauses aren't. We won't promise you a number. We will put the record-keeping in the contract: the cap, the Register, the backups, and what happens when a GPU dies. What's the one thing you'd want written down before co-owning hardware?

What We Put In Writing. We won't promise a number. Here's what's in the contract instead: → 40 Fractions per Device, never more → Your holding on the Register within 2 business days → Register backed up daily, copied to an escrow agent monthly → Insured to replacement value → A set process for when a GPU dies 👇 [Medium link: What We Put In Writing]

40. The most Fractions that can ever be sold or reserved against one of our Devices. Not a policy we might change. A clause in the purchase agreement. No 41st Fraction. No quiet dilution.

Basic or Black: which would you pick, and why? No wrong answers. We want to know how you think about it.

If we had to fit AION on one card, it'd be this: Show the machine. Say what we won't promise. Which half matters more to you?

Inside the stack: B200: up to ~1,000W. RTX 5090: rated at 575W. Then cooling to carry that heat away, rack space, bandwidth, maintenance and people. All of it comes off before anything is shared. That's the fee line, disclosed at checkout. Which one do you think costs the most: power, cooling, space or people?

Today we open the black box on camera. The full walkthrough: what AION is, how an hour of GPU rental turns into a record against a Fraction, and what we won't promise you.

A promise you can't keep isn't a feature. It's a liability with nice design. Any GPU pitch with a fixed number is guessing about three things nobody controls: rental demand, market rates and how long the hardware lasts. Where's your line: is a range honest, or is any number one too many?

What We Won't Promise. 1. A number 2. A floor 3. That the Device gets rented 4. A date 5. That rates hold 6. What the hardware is worth later 7. That you get your purchase price back Every one of those is a guess dressed up as a feature 👇 medium.com/@aioncloud.io/wha…
