[ DESIGN PARTNERS ]

We're not customer-heavy yet.
We're picking the first three.

SmartTec is in pre-launch. We're running a closed design-partner program for three teams who want launch pricing and direct engineering access ahead of Q4 2026 power-on.

Apply for design partner

[ OPEN DESIGN PARTNER SLOTS ]

Three slots remaining.

[ SLOT 01 ]
AI training team

Slot sized for ~16 nodes of continued-pretraining or fine-tuning workload on dedicated InfiniBand fabric.

[ SLOT 02 ]
Inference-heavy product

Slot sized for Cerebras CS-3 or dedicated GPU capacity serving low-latency production inference.

[ SLOT 03 ]
Federal / compliance-sensitive

Slot sized for up to 2 MW of NDAA §889-compliant, single-tenant, US-built-hardware deployment.


[ WHO THIS IS FOR ]

If one of these is you,
the math usually works.

[ 01 ]

AI product teams

You have: A fine-tuned model in production and a cloud bill that doubles every quarter.

You get: Dedicated GPUs at a fixed monthly number — no noisy neighbors, no surge pricing, no egress surprises. Your invoice looks the same in month one and month twelve.

Typical footprint: 4–16 GPUs, reserved
[ 02 ]

Inference-heavy SaaS

You have: Users who feel every 100 ms, and unit economics measured in tokens per dollar.

You get: Capacity tuned for serving: batch-optimized GPU nodes or Cerebras CS-3 for the fastest tokens available. We size against your real traffic, not a benchmark.

Typical footprint: 8+ GPUs or a dedicated CS-3
[ 03 ]

Research labs & universities

You have: Training runs that need two weeks of uninterrupted compute, a few times a year.

You get: Reserved burst windows on a private InfiniBand fabric — schedule the run, get the whole allocation, pay only for the window. No queue, no preemption mid-run.

Typical footprint: 8–32 GPUs, scheduled windows
[ 04 ]

Federal & compliance-sensitive

You have: A mandate: NDAA §889 supply chain, US-built hardware, and single-tenant isolation.

You get: US-based operations, single-tenant physical isolation, audit-ready telemetry, and supply-chain documentation scoped per contract under NDA. Compliance requirements are engineered in from the design phase.

Typical footprint: dedicated racks to 2 MW

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

Four steps. No mystery.

[ 01 ]

Scope call

30 minutes on your actual workload: model sizes, tokens per day, latency targets, compliance needs. No slideware.

[ 02 ]

Sizing + fixed quote

We run your numbers through the same calculators on this site and hand back a configuration and a fixed price. You can check our math.

[ 03 ]

Contract + onboarding

Reserve capacity, migrate data over the fiber, get SSH / Kubernetes / Slurm access. A named engineer owns your onboarding.

[ 04 ]

Live, with receipts

Real-time telemetry dashboard, uptime and performance against SLA targets, and a human who answers when something looks off.


[ z1power · THE BATTERY PLATFORM ]

The chemistry is proven. The site is ours.

No borrowed case studies. Everything below is verifiable today.

Proven LFP platform

US-wide · z1power LiFePO4 · live since 2021

z1power — a founder-owned partner company — has shipped LiFePO4 batteries to US customers since 2021: 4,000+ cycle cells, integrated per-cell BMS, 5-year warranties. Verifiable at z1power.com.

Engineered for compute

SmartTec · BESS integration · live since 2025

SmartTec engineers z1power LFP modules with commercial-grade inverters and UPS into behind-the-meter storage, orchestrated by AURA. Sub-10ms failover is the design target, validated at commissioning.

Deployed on owned ground

Mead, OK · Phase 1 site · live since 2026

30 acres, three 3,000 sqft buildings, a 3 MVA transformer, and 100 Gbps symmetrical fiber under signed carrier quote — owned, not leased. No interconnection queue, no landlord.
