San Francisco Compute

We're building a new, regulated, commodity market for large scale GPU clusters. More like the Kalshi, less like craigslist. To accomplish this, we make a VM orchestrator called "Fog" that understands InfiniBand, GPUs, and heterogeneous hardware setups. We make money by taking a flat fee of a few cents per GPU hour upon delivery. Up until recently, we've been "running a market" via a spreadsheet, by selling bursts on very large clusters (think 6 to 8 figures deal sizes). The goal of the company is the same: we want to make it possible to buy a big, giant training cluster for a short time period. We think a liquid market will let you spend $40m for a month instead of $300m for a year. If we can't make that happen, then only the big labs will get to make AI.
