G42/Core42 has significant H100 inventory (confirmed). H200 accessible case-by-case. B200/Blackwell-class restricted in category despite Nov 20 2025 BIS license authorizing G42 to receive up to 35,000 GB300-class (Blackwell Ultra) chips cumulative — chip-specific licensing rather than category-wide allowance. Best confirmed accessible chip (H200, ~1,980 FP16 TFLOPS) vs frontier (B200, 2,250 TFLOPS) = ~0.88. Ratio adjusted to 0.85 reflecting B200 restriction + end-use monitoring friction.
