Questions before launch

Compute FAQ

Can I buy S1 today?

No. S1 is in pre-launch planning and no Pleroma compute product is currently offered for sale.

What will S1 cost?

Pricing will be published at launch after supplier terms, landed economics, availability, fulfillment, warranty, and service readiness are confirmed.

What is the Capability Dividend?

It is the market-relative pricing mechanism used by the Compute Deflation Initiative. For each materially new product family admitted to the program, the governed founding rate is 10% for units 1–1,000, 12.5% for units 1,001–2,500, and 15% for units 2,501–5,000.

Is the founding progression discretionary?

No. Launch admission is conditional on supplier, fulfillment, quality, warranty, and financial viability. Once a product family is admitted, its first 5,000 units follow the published founding schedule. Beginning with unit 5,001, the Dividend becomes an equilibrium output of current market and operating economics.

Why does the Dividend card show pending values?

An observed manufacturer price is not automatically an Active QCF or a verified savings claim. The Pleroma offer and Capability Dividend remain pending until supplier economics, benchmark durability, and the applicable claim packet are complete.

Will Pleroma Works manufacture the first S1 system?

The final product has not been selected. If the launch system is manufacturer-branded, Pleroma Works will identify the product and manufacturer accurately.

Will the system require Pleroma software?

The design principle is integration without captivity. Standard operating systems, NVIDIA tooling, development frameworks, and interfaces should remain usable.
