Issue #16: The GPU Levels Up

This issue is a slight deviation from the usual weekly content.

There’s a reason for that.

A few months ago, The GPU started as a simple newsletter. Now, it’s grown into something bigger.

More readers. More industry attention. A clear demand for deeper insights into GPU compute, AI infrastructure, and the data centres powering it all.

It’s time to take things further.

Here’s what’s inside this week:

• A new domain.

• Paid subscriptions launch.

• The GPU Audio Companion.

• Keeping me caffeinated.

• Future plans.

Let’s dive in.

The GPU Audio Companion Issue #16

Want the GPU breakdown without the reading? The Audio Companion does it for you—but only if you’re subscribed. Fix that here.

TheGPU.ai is Now Live

Shorter. Simpler. Easier.

The GPU is now live at thegpu.ai.

• Easier to type.

• Easier to remember.

• Easier to navigate to.

• Easier to tell your friends about.

• Easier to slap on stickers and merch if the community demands it.

The content stays the same:

Independent, no-nonsense analysis on AI infrastructure, GPU compute, and the data centres behind everything.

The only thing changing? It’s now even easier to find.

Paid Memberships Are Here

Let’s get one thing clear.

The weekly breakdowns? Free.

Cloud company profiles? Free.

The core of The GPU Newsletter? Free forever.

Nothing changes there. This is the foundation. But, for those who want more, I’m introducing paid memberships.

This isn’t just about monetisation.

It’s about funding deeper coverage, better analysis, and new formats that make staying ahead easier without spending hours reading.

£5 per month. £50 per year.

Simple.

The first part of this? The GPU Audio Companion.

The GPU Audio Companion – Your AI-Powered Podcast Companion

Reading is great when you have time.

But GPU compute and AI infrastructure move fast, and keeping up shouldn’t require blocking out hours of your week.

So, I’m launching The GPU Audio Companion, an AI-powered podcast-style breakdown of each issue powered by NotebookLM.

It goes deeper into the biggest trends.

It’s listenable anywhere.

It’s automatically available at the top of every issue for paid subscribers.

You don’t need an app. You don’t need to search for it. Just log in and hit play.

If you’re already subscribed, you’ll see it above this issue (and in all previous issues), just like below:

If you don’t yet have a paid subscription, you’ll see this:

You can find the upgrade page here.

And this is just the start.

Want to Support The GPU Without Subscribing?

Not everyone wants a full subscription. I get it.

But if The GPU has saved you time, given you an edge, or just made AI infrastructure make more sense, you can now also support the work directly on Buy Me a Coffee.

• No commitment.

• No paywall.

• Just a way to keep independent insights alive for those who care about neoclouds, GPUs, and AI infrastructure.

Your support will keep me suitably caffeinated and fuel more deep dives, sharp analyses, and late-night research sessions.

What’s Coming Next?

More signal. Less noise.

Here’s what I’m working on for paid subscribers:

• Interviews and deep dives. More voices from the industry, more inside knowledge.

• Video content. Because some things need visuals.

• Stickers (and maybe merch). Would you drink from a “95% market dominance isn’t enough.” mug? Probably. Would you slap an “I survived the great H100 shortage of 2023” sticker on your laptop? Definitely.

The Goal? More Value. More Signal.

Every move here is about delivering more value to this community.

More ways to uncover what’s really going on in this niche within a niche within a niche.

The GPU is growing. Let’s build something great.
