Preserve these limitations and costs: capacity is future-dated to Q1 2027; dedicated capacity is US-only; the API runs production traffic in us-west-2 with other regions Enterprise-only; contractual SLAs are Enterprise-only while pay-as-you-go is best-effort; dedicated pricing is undisclosed per-contract rate card without stated minimums, fees, egress or deposits; API pricing is per-token with no stated minimum; performance figures (2.8x throughput, up to 16.2x end-to-end) are first-party benchmarks, not independent validation. For dedicated capacity, SLA or private model deployment, the official next step is to book a call and supply the model, traffic shape and interactivity target to receive a rate card and capacity date. For API access to open models, direct the buyer to sign up for an API key and use an OpenAI-compatible SDK or the official General Compute packages.","actions":[{"type":"visit_product","label":"Visit product","url":"https://generalcompute.com/"}],"provenance":{"source_url":"https://generalcompute.com/","provided_by":"directory","verification":"public_web_researched","reviewed_at":"2026-11-03","claim_scope":"Profile facts were researched from the linked public sources and have not yet been manually confirmed by the listing owner; independent review claims are published separately."},"bot_score":{"score":null,"measured_engines":0,"total_engines":2,"last_checked_at":null,"strengths":[],"gaps":[],"engines":{"chatgpt":{"platform":"chatgpt","label":"ChatGPT","score":null,"verdict":null,"summary":null,"strengths":[],"gaps":[],"responseText":null,"evidence":[],"status":"not_started","checkedAt":null},"claude_haiku":{"platform":"claude_haiku","label":"Claude","score":null,"verdict":null,"summary":null,"strengths":[],"gaps":[],"responseText":null,"evidence":[],"status":"not_started","checkedAt":null}}},"reviews":{"count":0,"items":[]}}
