Documentation that oversells is worse than no documentation, because it costs
you a day before you find out. Three labels appear throughout the product and
these docs, and they mean exactly one thing each.
LIVE
Running in production today, and documented here as it actually works.
SOON / ROADMAP
The architecture supports it and it is being scheduled — often with design
partners. In the product these appear as visible, disabled previews in the
sidebar rather than being hidden, so you always know the difference between what
is shipped and what is planned.
Sidebar items currently marked SOON include, for operators: Launch AI Factory,
Workloads, Incidents, Tickets, and Revenue. For customers: Instances, Notebooks,
Inference, and Billing.
A SOON label is never applied to something that half-works. If a page is
interactive, its data is real — with the one explicit exception below.
SIMULATED
A simulated fleet can be run against a live console for demos and evaluation.
Everything simulated is badged SIMULATED in both the data and the UI.
Real telemetry is never silently mixed with it:
- Simulated machines are hidden from every dashboard by default.
- They appear only for accounts that switch Show simulated data on in the
profile menu.
- Any view that hid something says how many it hid — so an empty dashboard
is never ambiguous between “nothing here” and “everything filtered out”.
Honest gaps
The same principle governs charts. They never interpolate or smooth. If a
machine lost network and the data never arrived, the chart shows a gap rather
than a plausible line drawn between two known points.
Likewise, an offline flag means the machine actually missed 2+ minutes of
heartbeats — it is computed from the same data you are looking at, not from a
separate status field that can drift.
And when a rental request cannot be filled completely, the shortfall is
reported: you see exactly how many nodes were assigned and how many were not.
