Compute Exchange has launched a secondary marketplace for Nvidia data-center GPUs on Friday, expanding beyond reserved compute capacity as organizations seek lower-cost hardware for production AI workloads.
Launched in January 2025 and co-founded by DRW's Don Wilson and Suna Said of Woodside AI,Compute Exchangeoriginally focused on reserved GPU capacity across a network of more than 100 providers.
It also offers forward contracts that allow buyers to specify a GPU model, quantity, contract duration, start date and target price for future capacity.
The newest product compliments sister company, Silicon Data, a data firm working on real-time GPU pricing.
Silicon Data is also helmed by Compute Exchange CEO Carmen Li.
"Not every workload requires the newest generation of GPUs," Carmen Li, CEO of Compute Exchange and founder of Silicon Data, said in a statement toBlockspace.
"For many organizations, used and refurbished hardware offers the fastest and most economical path to expanding AI infrastructure.
We see the secondary GPU market as a natural step toward making AI infrastructure more efficient, transparent, and accessible." Compute Exchange acts as an intermediary and does not take ownership of the hardware.
Buyers or sellers submit their requirements, receive introductions to verified counterparties and complete transactions directly, with the platform supporting procurement and logistics.
Thehardware marketplaceconnects enterprises, cloud providers, AI startups and infrastructure operators with suppliers of used, refurbished and OEM-surplus equipment.
Available categories include Nvidia H100, H200, B200, A100, L40S and V100 GPUs.
Compute Exchange said demand is concentrated around established H100 and A100 systems rather than the latest Blackwell accelerators.
