Reach AI developers, ML researchers, and enterprise teams making hardware and infrastructure decisions — right when they're evaluating options.
Every paid placement uses a visible Sponsored badge. Readers always know what is paid. We do not dress ads as organic recommendations.
Cloud GPU price sorts, GPU comparisons, model fit results, and studio recommendations stay independent of sponsorship. Paying does not move you up organic tables.
Production numbers from Vercel Web Analytics. We publish real data — including quality caveats.
Traffic is growing (weekly uniques roughly tripled over a month). Top commercial pages: cloud GPU pricing, VRAM calculator, AI homelab builds, GPU comparison. Audience is ~90% desktop. A share of global uniques is bot/scraper traffic (common for technical SEO sites); US + developer intent is the core we sell against. Zero paid acquisition. Founding sponsors lock early rates.
$500–2,000 / month depending on surface (studio footer chip vs cloud pricing featured row vs multi-page package). Rates lock for founding partners while we are still early on paid inventory.
Labeled units only. We match sponsors to high-intent surfaces — not to algorithmic rank.
Labeled featured strip above or beside the live comparison table — never mixed into sort order.
/cloud-gpu-pricing
Compact “Sponsored” chip or card in a studio footer when the product is relevant to that workflow.
Studios (contextual)
In-content placement on best-GPU / hardware guides, clearly separated from editorial picks.
SEO guides
Sponsored mention in the product newsletter once frequency and list size support it.
Email list
Soft preview of the production SponsorSlot component. This is a placeholder only — not a live paying sponsor. Click-through goes to our inquiry email.
Mock placement — contact us to book.
Building with LLMs locally — choosing models, GPUs, and quantization strategies.
Evaluating hardware for training runs, fine-tuning, and RAG pipelines.
Making procurement decisions for AI infrastructure — cloud vs on-prem, TCO analysis.
Labeled placement on a surface of your choice. Logo optional, contextual CTA, impression/click tracking with monthly reports. $500–2k/mo founding band.
Lock in early positioning as we scale.
Disclosed affiliate links for cloud GPU providers, hardware retailers, and AI platforms. Separate from sponsor slots — performance-based.
Performance-based — you pay for results.
Co-branded guides, data integrations, or tool embeds. Editorial independence retained; sponsorship still labeled when paid.
Deep integration with lasting SEO value.
Each studio serves a specific audience making specific decisions. Sponsors are matched to the studio where their product is most relevant. Placement is labeled; studio logic and recommendations are not for sale.
RAG pipeline design — vector DBs, embedding models, LLM selection
Training feasibility — GPU requirements, dataset scaling, multi-GPU configs
Image/video generation planning — SDXL, FLUX, resolution scaling
Local AI coding assistant selection — HumanEval benchmarks, hardware correlation
IoT/edge deployment — Jetson, Coral, mobile chips, quantization
TCO analysis — rent vs buy, cloud pricing comparison
Workstation build planning for AI workloads
PCIe lane & multi-GPU interconnect planning
Contextual surfaces only. Organic tables and badges stay independent of sponsorship.

Founding rates are $500–2,000/mo. We're looking for sponsors who want early, labeled positioning in AI hardware decisions — without buying rankings.
