The listed price is not the traded price.
Public marketplaces show H100 at $3.25/hr.
Real year-long contracts clear at $2.10–2.70.
Why the gap?
Bilateral negotiations are confidential.
Nobody publishes what actually traded.
Price discovery needs transparency.

The debate on AI compute has moved.
From "will demand exist?"
To "do the unit economics work?"
GPU pricing, financing costs, utilization.
Contracted power, density, offtake.
A 1GW factory only works if it can be rented, powered, and paid back.
Some names are being marked down on returns.
Others are being marked up for contracted power, density, and long-term offtake.
The market is underwriting compute like real assets now, not like a theme.

Compute is not a commodity yet.
Why? No standard unit.
Every GPU purchase is different:
• Region differs
• Provider differs
• Price differs — $1.99 to $5.99 for the same H100
• Contracts are locked and hard to resell
@RaxFinance is building a standard:
1 cT = 1 GPU-hour
Backed 1:1 by real machines.
Trade it or redeem it for compute.
Same unit, anywhere in the pool.
Making compute fungible and tradable.

BlackRock: AI compute could be tokenized.
Translation:
compute is about to get a market.
The world’s largest asset manager just named the future.
We’re building the unit it needs.
1 cT = 1 GPU-hour.
Fungible. Redeemable. Tradable.
That’s the layer.
A founder's dilemma:
"Signed 12-month GPU contract.
Raised $2M seed.
Built for 3 months.
Funding talks fell through.
Now: 9 months left on contract.
$27K/month burning.
Can't resell. Can't transfer.
Just... stuck."
This isn't rare. This is Tuesday in AI.
🛠️ Builder’s Note #01
An index without a pool is a number nobody can transact on.
A GPU cloud without an index is capacity nobody can price.
@RaxFinance is building all three:
✓ The machines — custodied in partner data centres
✓ The unit — cT, backed 1:1 by those machines
✓ The venue — where cT can actually clear
One place where GPU compute is:
Minted → Priced → Traded → Redeemed
A benchmark, once referenced, becomes a market standard.

We’re building the real-world embodied data layer for physical AI — turning real-world interaction into training-ready embodied data. 🦾
AI has learned to speak.
Now it needs to learn how to act.
A new chapter begins.
AI companies have a compute problem:
Sign a 12-month GPU contract.
Need it for only 3 months.
→ $30K/month still gets burned.
40% of your reserved capacity sits idle.
You’re locked into the contract.
→ Capital stays tied up.
@RaxFinance is building a marketplace for tradable compute capacity.
Have 9 months of H100 capacity left?
Monetize the unused portion.
Need compute for a shorter period?
Access available capacity without committing to a long-term contract.
Compute capacity shouldn’t have to sit idle.
A 1GW AI factory is being described as a $50B -a-year rental machine.
Jensen’s CNBC numbers make the unit economics clearer:
• ~$50–60B to build
• ~$50B in annual rental revenue
• capital that can pay itself back on a very short cycle if utilization holds
That is why this is no longer just a GPU cycle.
It is power + chips + cooling + financing, packaged as a factory that sells compute by the year.
When the world’s largest compute company starts quoting AI factories in gigawatts and rental revenue, the asset is the factory itself.
Compute is becoming the scarce, cash-flowing layer underneath the entire AI buildout.

2026: AI compute is becoming the next oil.
Just like crude oil has:
• Spot markets
• Futures contracts
• Regional benchmarks
@RaxFinance is building the same for AI compute:
• Collateralized lending (Vault)
• Trading marketplace
• Regional price index
Tokyo vs Mumbai: 2x price spread on GPUs
A trillion-dollar market is being born 🌱

AI compute is not priced by hardware alone.
The economics depend on a combination of:
• GPU supply
• Workload demand
• Utilization
• Energy costs
• Capital efficiency
As AI infrastructure scales, understanding these variables becomes increasingly important.
Because the next compute opportunity may not be about owning more GPUs.
It may be about understanding where demand is heading.
More GPUs don't always mean more compute.
Utilization matters.
A data center running 10,000 GPUs at 30% utilization has very different economics from one running the same fleet at 80%.
As AI workloads evolve, the value of compute will increasingly depend on:
• GPU utilization
• Workload demand
• Energy costs
• Hardware efficiency
Compute capacity tells us what exists.
Utilization tells us how much of it is actually being put to work.
Compute and energy are becoming increasingly inseparable.
Every additional AI workload requires more than GPUs.
It requires electricity, cooling, networking, and physical infrastructure.
As AI demand grows, access to reliable power may become just as important as access to compute capacity.
In the AI economy, megawatts and megaflops are becoming two sides of the same equation.
