Buying GPUs Should Work Like Buying Stocks — Carmen Li, Compute Exchange
Compute Exchange is the world's only neutral GPU marketplace, modeled after stock exchanges.
“Because Compute Exchange by design owns nothing, we work very efficiently with our providers around the world.”
Carmen Li, CEO of Compute Exchange, pitched a neutral GPU marketplace that lets buyers transact across 100+ verified providers and 80,000+ GPUs without the platform owning any hardware—analogous to Nasdaq not owning stocks. The pitch addresses the fragmentation of 300+ private cloud providers making GPU procurement inefficient. It matters as a signal that compute is financializing, with exchange-style liquidity infrastructure emerging around AI hardware.
