| Epoch After Hours
Data come from our GPU Clusters dataset, which collects information on 728 clusters with dedicated AI accelerators, spanning from 2010 to the present. As of March 2025, we estimate that our dataset contained 10–20% of all AI compute produced before 2025. We focus on the 501 AI clusters which became operational in 2019 or later, since these are most relevant to modern AI training.

When's the best time to pitch you?

There are are no good or bad times -- only good or bad pitches. Between the magic email and time zones, timing should not be a concern.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

That [Company] just completed another round of funding. It's the least possible newsworthy story -- it doesn't have any impact on users.
