Looks like Hive Systems updated their password cracking table for 2026.
The only update is using 16×RTX5090 Nvidia GPUs instead of 12. So the times got *slightly* smaller. Not much.
Attached is also the 2025 table so you can contrast and compare.

In my not-so-humble opinion, their password table comes with the baggage of using specific hardware and assumes a specific hash type with cost. A better table shows what the raw symmetric bits actually look like. Then it doesn't matter if it's hashed with vanilla MD5 or bcrypt 10. It doesn't matter if it's a single RTX 5090 or a distributed compute cluster. We know what current brute force rates look like, so the colors in my table follow directly from those results. https://gist.github.com/atoponce/a7715930ae6eb7d6b487f2f76b57a68d
