TRADING TECHNOLOGY · COMPUTE TRADER™
For teams who
buy and sell
reserved GPU capacity
Run every deal in one place: manage your buyers and providers of compute, connect with them directly, move from RFQ to execution. Your counterparties and your deal flow are yours.
Your deals stay private to your team. Encrypted in transit and at rest.
Your pipeline in Compute Trader

THE PROBLEM
Reserved-compute deals run on spreadsheets,
email, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
None of it scales.
01
RFQs vanish into threads. There is no record of what was asked, offered, or agreed.
02
Counterparty history lives in one person's memory — and leaves when they do.
03
Every desk rebuilds the same pipeline by hand. Nothing sits underneath any of it.
THE SYSTEM OF RECORD
Reserved compute finally has
its own software.
Bring the counterparties you already deal with, connect with them directly inside the product, and move each deal from RFQ to execution in one place. You hold your own counterparty list, your own negotiation state, your own pipeline. Nobody logs your deals for you.
Yours, not a marketplace
It isn't any seller's sales tool and it isn't a marketplace. It's your desk, your contacts, your deal flow.
Encrypted and bilateral
Moving off WhatsApp and spreadsheets doesn't cost you privacy. Encrypted in transit and at rest, visible only to your team.
RFQ to execution
One place for the whole lifecycle — and, on your terms, a growing network of vetted counterparties we introduce.
EVERYTHING A DEAL NEEDS, IN ONE PLACE
Built around the deal, from first RFQ to final confirmation.
01
Listings and RFQs
Inbound and outbound, for capacity, terms, and configurations.
02
Negotiation
Counter-offers, conditions, and decisions kept against each deal, visible only to the people on it.
03
Pipeline
Every active deal and where it stands, in one view.
04
Execution
Paperwork, allocations, and confirmations, in one place.
05
Counterparties
Their history, preferences, and prior terms, held by your desk instead of in one person's memory.
When a deal closes, its full record stays in Compute Trader — so the terms and paperwork are there for the next one, not buried in old threads.
NEGOTIATION, ON THE DEAL
Every deal keeps its own record: sellers, terms, and the conversation.
Click into any deal from the pipeline: compare sellers side by side, update terms, strike — with the chat and every decision kept against the deal instead of scattered across threads.
WHO IT IS FOR
Most firms sit on both sides, buying capacity on one deal and selling it on the next.
Buy side
Procurement
— Frontier AI labs sourcing capacity for training and inference.
— Inference and AIaaS companies procuring GPUs to resell as APIs.
— Operators resourcing capacity they don't own.
Sell side
Sales
— Hyperscaler compute-rental teams.
— Neoclouds, regional and specialist GPU operators.
— AIaaS providers placing inventory.
Both sides
Early-stage AI teams. Founders and infra leads buying their first blocks of reserved capacity, or reselling what they aren't using.
VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
One business. The physical market and the financial layer.
Compute Trader is one piece of Compute Desk's infrastructure. Compute Desk also publishes a reserved compute price index, built from transaction data counterparties choose to contribute, not from your private deals.
That index is already licensed by Architect to build financial instruments and compute futures, and published live to 350,000 Bloomberg terminals. The physical market runs on Compute Trader. The financial layer prices and settles against the index.
