Independent Reference Rates for GPU Compute
CCIR provides a reference rate for all levels of the GPU compute market — Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 across the Intelligence Factory Taxonomy.
- Independent
- Open methodology
- Built for citation
- Capability-graded
Premium silicon, three tiers, daily.
Same Chip — Three Products
The same H100 silicon is deployed across all three tiers. A Tier 1 hyperscale deployment, a Tier 2 dedicated cluster, and a Tier 3 marketplace listing aren't three prices of one product — they're three products that happen to share a chip, differing in fabric, tenancy, and the work they can run. CCIR prices each one, making the full compute market visible — the rate at every grade the chip is offered.

How the rate is built.
Provider-posted rate cards and on-demand pricing pages, scraped daily. No solicited quotes, no broker feeds.
Operator-equal median: each operator counts as one vote regardless of SKU count. Median of per-source medians at each tier.
3 sources / 5 observations to publish. Below-gate cells emit as Shadow series and are flagged in the explorer.
Per-SKU algorithmic classifier on a capability bundle (fabric, host topology, support, compliance). Premium silicons only.
See /tiers for tier definitions, the T1IF-anchored spread matrix, and classification, and /applications for worked credit-document examples.
Scope and independence.
- Indicative reference rates. Long-tail chips (L4, L40S, A40, T4, V100, 3090, 4090, 5090, etc.) appear in the explorer as panel medians with no tier coverage. Treat them as reference points, not benchmark rates.
- No positions. CCIR holds no positions in the markets it measures.
- Credit document citation. The Applications page contains worked drafting examples — defined terms, covenant mechanics, fallback waterfall — showing how a CCIR rate fits into a senior-secured GPU-backed facility.
