Historically delivering some of the lowest prices for frontier AI.\n\nLowest-price GPU capacity\n\nThe economics\n\nThe marketplace model lets capacity owners compete for workloads instead of hiding prices behind fixed tiers.\n\nCheaper GPU clouds make use of available hardware, turning underused infrastructure into useful compute.\n\nPay only while silicon is running. No long commitments or a bill for capacity sitting idle.\n\nWe are built around the GPU—not a maze of managed services and layers of enterprise overhead.\n\n```\n                          capacity.route()                          \n               /  .    \\  /    .\\      :.      .:       .           \n           gpu.alloc()     .       /       \\ .queue.next()          \n             .\\       .     : :     .       /       \\               \n                                                                    \n H200  >-------==>-------- [ POOL 01 ]  ---==>-----==>---  TRAIN    \n                           spot | demand                            \n                                                                    \n H100  -==>------==>------ [ POOL 02 ]  ==>-----==>------  INFER    \n                           spot | demand                            \n                                                                    \n          :        :  .
