Free tier	Ceased operations, while its own homepage still sells the product. The live page states 'Esperanto Technologies has ceased operations. Esperanto Technologies' IP has been acquired by Nekko.ai' at the top, and further down, unchanged, 'The Esperanto AI / HPC Compute Server... Available today for purchase or secure remote cloud access', describing the ET-SoC-1 as a TSMC 7 nm chip with over a thousand RISC-V cores. The company closed in July 2025; the IP sale completed in October 2025 and the RTL is being released as CORE-ET through the OpenHW Group. unit none; metered on wall-clock; none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	anonymous not published
Binding	none nothing binds because no capacity is sold or given: there is no operator of the hardware left to rent it from.
Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	Nothing chains. The only artifact with continuing value is the open-sourced RTL, which runs in a simulator and produces no compute; the SDK and the cloud access that the page still advertises have no operator behind them.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded because the page is the clearest example of a live 200 that proves nothing: the sentence that matters is four lines below the product pitch, and a reader who screenshots the pitch records capacity that does not exist. Two candidates were tested: (a) Nekko.ai relaunched the cloud, refuted because the acquisition is described as an IP purchase with an open-source release rather than an operating business; (b) a third-party operator still hosts ET-SoC-1, which no source found supports. What would reopen it: a published rental rate for ET-SoC-1 silicon after the CORE-ET release.
