SmartTec is in pre-launch. Phase 1 power-on is targeted for Q4 2026. We're reserving first-wave capacity now for three design partners — teams who will be the first to run production workloads on our platform.
What you get
- →Locked launch pricing for 12 months from power-on. Significantly below post-launch list.
- →Direct engineering access. A Slack channel with the SmartTec engineering team. No support tiers in between.
- →Named case study co-published at power-on. We publish benchmark numbers, workload profile, and power data jointly.
- →Reserved compute. Your capacity is locked for the first 12 months post-power-on. No queue.
- →Roadmap input. Quarterly product reviews. Your workload shapes what we ship next.
What we ask
- →A clear workload profile. Training, inference, fine-tuning — we want to understand what you're running and why.
- →A procurement-ready budget. Pre-launch pricing is real pricing. You should have a path to a signed order within 60 days of selection.
- →Willingness to publish. Anonymized references are available, but the best deals go to teams who'll be a named case study.
