FAQ

What is ConfigHUB?

ConfigHUB is an online infrastructure planning and budgeting platform that helps organizations explore, compare, and model compute infrastructure configurations. It is designed to support early-stage planning for CPU- and GPU-based workloads, including AI, HPC, and enterprise computing environments.

ConfigHUB provides directional configuration insights and cost estimates to help users make more informed decisions before engaging vendors or entering procurement processes.

Who is ConfigHUB for?

ConfigHUB is used by:

• IT leaders and infrastructure architects
• Engineering and data science teams
• Finance and procurement teams
• Managed service providers (MSPs)
• Organizations planning new or expanded compute deployments

The platform is suitable for both technical and non-technical users involved in infrastructure planning.

Who operates ConfigHUB?

ConfigHUB is operated by Hut 8, a digital infrastructure and compute company with experience in high-performance computing, data centers, and enterprise infrastructure.

What can I do with ConfigHUB?

With ConfigHUB, you can:

• Explore different CPU and GPU infrastructure configurations
• Compare performance and cost trade-offs
• Estimate budgets for potential compute deployments
• Prepare internally for vendor conversations or procurement processes

ConfigHUB is intended for planning and evaluation, not execution or purchasing.

Does ConfigHUB sell hardware or services?

No. ConfigHUB does not sell hardware, software, or cloud services directly.

Any pricing or configuration information provided is for planning purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a quote, or a contract.

Are the configurations and prices shown final or guaranteed?

No.

All configurations, performance assumptions, and cost figures shown on ConfigHUB are:

• Estimates only
• Non-binding
• Subject to change based on market conditions, vendor availability, region, and final specifications

Actual pricing, availability, and performance may differ materially when engaging vendors.

Can I rely on ConfigHUB estimates for procurement decisions?

ConfigHUB is designed to support internal planning and budgeting, not to replace formal procurement processes.

You should always:

• Validate configurations with qualified vendors
• Obtain formal quotes and contracts
• Conduct your own technical and financial due diligence

Is ConfigHUB legal to use?

Yes. ConfigHUB is a lawful software platform that provides infrastructure planning and estimation tools. Using ConfigHUB does not violate any laws when used for its intended purpose.

Does ConfigHUB provide financial, investment, or legal advice?

No.

ConfigHUB does not provide:

• Financial advice
• Investment advice
• Legal advice
• Tax or accounting advice

All outputs are informational only. Users are responsible for obtaining professional advice where appropriate.

How much would it cost to build an AI training cluster for large language models?

ConfigHUB helps users estimate the infrastructure cost ranges associated with building AI training environments by modeling GPU type, quantity, supporting CPUs, memory, networking, and power considerations.

The platform provides directional cost estimates and configuration options to support early-stage planning. Final costs depend on vendor pricing, availability, location, and contract terms.

How do I budget for AI infrastructure when GPU prices keep changing?

ConfigHUB enables users to model multiple scenarios using different assumptions, helping teams understand budget sensitivity to hardware selection and scale.

By comparing scenarios, users can better prepare for procurement discussions and internal budget approvals in volatile pricing environments.

Can ConfigHUB help justify AI infrastructure spend to finance teams?”

Yes. ConfigHUB is often used to create structured, transparent planning scenarios that support internal discussions between technical, finance, and procurement stakeholders.

Outputs are intended to inform internal conversations, not replace formal financial analysis.

Can ConfigHUB tell me which vendor or hardware to buy?

No.

ConfigHUB does not recommend specific vendors or guarantee availability. It provides planning-level insights to help users approach vendor discussions with clearer requirements and expectations.

Is ConfigHUB replacing infrastructure architects or consultants?

No.

ConfigHUB complements human expertise by accelerating early-stage planning and exploration. Final decisions should always involve qualified professionals and vendor validation.
