The routing layer for GPU compute, priced like an energy market.

Petabyte aggregates underutilized GPU capacity from distributed providers and routes it to buyers below hyperscaler prices — with cryptographically verified hardware, container isolation, escrow-protected settlement, and a double-entry ledger. Real payment rails and vendor TEE attestation are on the roadmap, not yet live; we say exactly what is built and what is not.

The problem

GPU compute is expensive and scarce. Hyperscalers charge premium rates with limited high-end availability — while enormous capacity sits idle across smaller providers, with no efficient way to monetize it.

The solution

A marketplace that unlocks that hidden supply. Buyers get cheaper on-demand GPUs without lock-in, secured today by hardened container isolation and escrow. Providers turn idle hardware into revenue with escrowed, ledger-tracked settlement. Stronger micro-VM/TEE isolation and idle-fallback are on the roadmap.

Vision — beyond a marketplace

Petabyte starts as a GPU marketplace but builds toward the routing layer for compute-as-a-commodity — real-time pricing and cross-provider arbitrage that treat GPU power like electricity. The deeper lever: pairing this with structurally cheap electrons to power AI where the electron is cheapest — the path to a sovereign, trust-minimized compute network.
