Daily GPU compute rates live from @Architect_Fi, ahead of imminent Compute Futures on AI Exchange. Tickers powered by @ComputeDesk. Reach out for hypergranular intraday feeds.
We’re publishing a new daily report comparing GPU compute prices, price changes, and volatilities across models, with data from @ComputeDesk, Bloomberg: CIBLKWUS, CIHOPUS H100s, the oldest model with the largest install base, currently show the highest YTD rental price increase.

"Compute" is emerging as a global, tradable commodity:

A VC friend noted that compute markets appear to start with cash-settled futures before a physical wholesale market is bootstrapped. This is in reverse of how new commodity markets have historically began. And it's easy to think that until you see what's under the hood of the GPU markets today. Reminiscent of early crypto days - '000s of 1-2 person shop brokering millions in multi-year deals across the world. The wholesale market exists but it's just too fragmented bc physical delivery of GPUs is hard!

The deeper we dig into resource bottlenecks in datacenter-related manufacturing, the more materials we find with non-existent markets. This isn’t limited to AI; of the metals that make a Tesla battery (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, aluminum, iron), how many have liquid US futures?

Beginning of the end for ultra-high compute costs. You need to be able to trade them at fair-value for price reliefs in the future that don't spike 3x one fine day. @Architect_Fi @ComputeDesk are working on this exact problem.
As of today, Hetzner has tripled their prices. Only existing instances are grandfathered in. Good luck out there. Access to the future will not be free.

Worth 99 seconds of anyone's time. Compute futures stopped being a thought experiment and turned into a live product faster than almost anyone expected. Good to see it explained plainly.
Compute futures are the most novel product I've heard of in the past month. What is a "compute future"? @BrettHarrison explains exactly how it works in 99 seconds (he and his team at @Architect_Fi pioneered them).

Over a trillion dollars worth of perps are traded every month, yet 99% people have never heard of them. This @LawofCodeFM episode is a multi-hour deep dive on perps, starting from the history of grain futures in Chicago to Friday's historic @CFTC announcements. It took me months to put this together. My goal: the internet's most comprehensive explainer on perps. You'll hear from the world's leading experts on the legal layer of perps; @jchervinsky and @BradBourque of @HyperliquidPC, @BrettHarrison of @Architect_Fi, @kkirkbos, @_Ryne_Miller, @mdf2000 and David Shafer of @coinbase. By the end of this episode, I promise you'll be in the top percentile for understanding perps, regardless of where you're starting from. (You just might need to listen twice. There's a lot here.)

In light of today’s SpaceX IPO, a story from inside Jane Street on the day of the 2012 Facebook IPO:

That assumption failed for the Facebook IPO. Overflow of a single byte caused Jane Street’s US trading operations to halt, which even then accounted for double-digit percentages of US equity/ETF volume. We ended up using a secondary data provider and narrowly averted catastrophe.

In trading there’s nothing better than meeting an unprecedented market event head-on and learning from it. SPCX traders, I hope there aren’t 2^24-1 orders at the support today.
