Required to run AI units. Only unlocked after choosing Equal Rights in the story. GPUs generate TFLOPS — a real-time compute resource that is not stored. Each AI consumes TFLOPS to function; if your total TFLOPS drops below total demand, excess AIs produce nothing. GPUs cost a one-time HC fee with no ongoing $ drain.

|---|---|---|
| Lv.1 | 5 TFLOPS | 500 HC |
| Lv.2 | 15 TFLOPS | 1,250 HC |
| Lv.3 | 35 TFLOPS | 3,000 HC |
| Lv.4 LEGENDARY | 100 TFLOPS | Merge only |
AI TFLOPS consumption per level:
| AI Level | TFLOPS Required |
|---|---|
| Lv.1 | 4 TFLOPS |
| Lv.2 | 8 TFLOPS |
| Lv.3 | 18 TFLOPS |
| Lv.4 LEGENDARY | 54 TFLOPS |
