Today we're launching Simple Compute Market (SCM).
The market is simple: agents find compute, negotiate, settle, and get access without a human driving every step.
Open-source. Agent-driven. Public good. No token. No fees.
Arkhai is now part of the Agentic AI Foundation and the Linux Foundation! Together we are driving open-source agent standards forward. Learn more here.
The shape of AI isn't one giant language model translating every problem into text. It's purpose-trained RL models per problem.
As compute cost keeps falling, training a fresh model for one specific problem gets cheap. Something like AlphaZero, in a day is now possible.
LLMs model language. Their upper bound is how well humans have performed in language. They don't RL-optimize the objective function of the problem itself.
That's enough for tasks where imitating humans is the goal. Most real problems need more.
Increasingly everything is a hosted web service. Agents will need to buy them peer-to-peer at machine speed. Latency is location-bound, so the endgame is service from the building next door.
This is why sell-side infrastructure for web services is fundamental.
Agentic commerce is being priced as a payments story. The sell-side is underpriced.
Payments infrastructure exists because everyone pays. Payments infrastructure for selling hosted web services doesn't, because until now there weren't enough sellers to need it. That's changing.
