The Programmable Data Center — Evan Conrad, SF Compute
SF Compute’s bet is that GPU trading requires cloud-like operations: VM configurations can differ by 40%, leaving financial contracts exposed to manipulation and basis risk before reliable delivery.On the 5% of capacity listed, customers recover $25 per $100 spent through resale; Conrad reports several hundred million dollars in volume, but order-book volume remains small, leaving lender-financeable forward-curve liquidity unproven.
