Buy a specified service
- Compute Exchange matches reserved and forward GPU capacity; Li says it owns no GPUs.
- Compare hardware, networking, location, delivery date and service guarantees alongside price.
- The offering starts at one node for one month; it is separate from on-demand cloud rental.
Verify the capacity and counterparty
- Li describes inventory and performance checks for existing servers, and purchase-order and permit checks for future builds.
- Token forwards reserve a dedicated model deployment with agreed technical and service terms.
Keep the financial claims conditional
- Implied forward curves are calculated from observed contracts, not prices from an already-trading futures market.
- Discounted cash-flow valuations depend on utilization, costs and future rental rates.
- Caveat: market-size, turnaround and valuation claims come from the marketplace’s CEO; future prices can move against today’s expectations.
Again, market consensus doesn’t mean it’s right.
