The San Francisco Compute Company
We run a market for large-scale, vetted H100 clusters. Need 800 H100s on a single InfiniBand fabric for an hour? You got it. 8 H100s dedicated for a year? Sure. Need to cancel? Just sell back what you don't need. You're never locked-in to a long-term contract.
Never pay to move your data. We run the clusters from UEFI on up and support you just like a traditional cloud.

Are the nodes fully-interconnected with InfiniBand?
Yes. If you buy 10 nodes, you’ll get a 10 node cluster with 3.2tb/s IB.
How fast is the spin up time?
About 0.5s.
Is it bare metal? Containers? VMs? Kubernetes?
If you buy on the website, you'll get a kubernetes cluster. If you'd like a bare-metal cluster, or a VM-setup, reach out us via the contact form.
Will the nodes go down?
Yes. Hardware failure rates are much higher on GPU clusters than on web servers. At certain scales, they’re guaranteed, so we’ve designed for failure. We have strict hardware requirements and have seen just about everything that can go wrong. Unlike other providers, we refund for failed nodes and can repack your nodes to ones with healthy hardware.
How does support work?
If you buy a big enough cluster, we’ll setup a shared slack channel with our engineering team. In the case of emergencies, we give you a phone number that escalates pages. Our team has managed over a billion dollars of hardware and worked on several of the world’s supercomputers.
Looking for a larger cluster?
We offer competitive pricing for large reservations of 512 - 4096 GPUs, on contracts with volume pricing that you can exit. Contact sales and let us know what you’re looking for.
