Affiliate disclosure
Honest version up front: we are not currently part of any affiliate program. Every outbound "Buy" link on this site today goes to a clean, untagged retailer URL.
What that means today
- No affiliate tags are appended to any outbound retailer link.
- We earn zero commission on any purchase you make.
- Click freely — we have no financial stake in which retailer you choose.
What may change later
We may join one or more retailer affiliate programs in the future. If that happens, outbound "Buy" links to the participating retailers will start carrying our affiliate tag, and we'll earn a small commission on purchases at no extra cost to you.
This page will be updated to list the active programs as soon as that happens. Until then, the disclosure stays accurate: no commission, no influence.
How we pick what to list
Every build on the site has to pass three checks before it can appear:
- You can actually buy it from a major retailer or vendor in 2026 (no vapor-ware, no scalper-only SKUs).
- There is at least one independent benchmark of single-stream tokens-per-second (or seconds-per-image, or seconds-per-clip) on a common open-weights model.
- The price we display is from a real listing on the day data was last refreshed (date is in the footer of the home page).
Commission rate is not on that list, and won't be even after we join programs. Builds with no affiliate revenue (e.g. Framework, tinygrad Tinybox) will be listed and ranked exactly the same as builds where we earn commission.
SEO disclosure
Once active, every affiliate link on this site will carry the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, in line with Google's guidance for paid or compensated links. That means outbound clicks won't pass SEO authority to the retailer — they only send users.
Legal basis
This disclosure is published in advance to comply with:
- U.S. Federal Trade Commission — Endorsement Guides.
- UK Advertising Standards Authority — CAP affiliate marketing guidance.
- EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (2005/29/EC), as transposed under Dutch law.
