GPU-cloud SLA example: node uptime / rack uptime, with penalties (ClusterMAX 2.0 example figures; SemiAnalysis sets no baseline)

99% / 95%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeIllustrative provider contract structure reported by ClusterMAX 2.0 (November 2025); not a market baseline or recommendation. ClusterMAX 3.0 (2026-09-23) publishes standardized Bronze, Silver and Gold SLA terms with thresholds and credits; the tier percentages are not in the public text. Its common NVL72 rule (rack down when 3 or more of 18 nodes fail) matches this example's 16-of-18 rack boundary.
CaveatUptime definition, exclusions, measurement window, spare entitlement, service credits, and penalties remain contract-specific.
As of2025-11
SourceSemiAnalysis ClusterMAX · SLA examples: one provider approach commits 99% node uptime and 95% rack uptime (rack defined as 16 of 18 nodes, or 64 of 72 GPUs); another commits 99% node uptime only and allocates 16 of 18 nodes.
