The book’s note
No MW figure. The announcement spoke of exploring up to 8,000 GPUs in Q1 2026; the August 2026 compilation’s table of promised dates rules that an exploration, not a first-power undertaking, and assigns no clock, so ‘never dated’ here means no scorable commitment. On hold since 9 Apr 2026; chapter 12 lists it under Retreats.
