- SF Compute CEO Evan Conrad announced that on-platform customers now receive an average 25% realized discount via resale of idle capacity — buying $100k of compute gets $25k back, dropping $4.50/GPU/hr to about $3.375.
- The mechanism is an order-book market: customers reserve large amounts of capacity and automatically resell what they don't use, enabling big short-term buys without long-term contract risk.
- The post walks through how its market-making product givemeanode (a "treasury" that buys and resells time, including future-date bids) maximizes utilization, with Python decision examples.
