SF Compute aims to solve the issue of compute being a commodity that startups are forced to buy in large quantities for extended periods, while compute providers struggle to fully book their clusters. The company seeks to build a real-time trading venue for compute contracts, introducing traders to the supply chain to ensure buyers get good prices for any order size and sellers can instantly book out their clusters.
