THE YEAR-ONE HORIZON

5,000 GPUs.
A billion daily possibilities.

By Q2 2027, the roadmap targets approximately 5,000 deployed GPUs and capacity for 1 billion daily confidential AI computations. The 5 million software-addressable GPUs described on the Blackthorn page represent potential supply, not committed deployment.
