# Silicon Data: robot AI company

Canonical ID: `04fe0c5f-0e6c-412f-b28d-67cb5919740f`

## Key facts

- **GPU rental indexes (company-stated via CME, Aug 2026):** Its [H100](/chips/nvidia-h100.md) and [B200](/chips/nvidia-b200.md) rental indexes are the reference for planned CME/NYMEX Compute futures; Silicon Data is the index provider, not the exchange.
- **Futures contract design (reported):** Each contract would cover 730 GPU-hours, cash-settled against Silicon Data's indexes.
- **Launch delay (reported, Sep 2026):** The CFTC extended its review by 45 days to Nov 9 2026, citing manipulation risk, so the planned Oct 5 2026 launch did not happen.
- **Launch timing (Sep 2026):** CME says the products will come 'later this year.' No new listing date; Nov 9 is a review deadline, not a trade date.
