“too low for most AI compute providers to recover their AI investments”
Gartner: many companies building AI data centres may not earn back what they spent before their chips go out of date.

Resale is becoming part of GPU economics, and @shadeformai Spot lets suppliers put idle capacity back on the market.

Shadeform’s Flex VMs can take bare metal GPUs from any datacenter and have them rentable within 30 minutes.

A smaller operator gets the same front door as everyone else, from day one.

The compute market has been a wild ride in 2026. Prices have skyrocketed, minimum contract durations have tripled, and near term capacity is few and far between. At the same time, agents are becoming a primary user of compute themselves, and not just GPU compute. It’s clear that the existing rental models and platforms across the industry no longer fit the reality we see today. That’s why this week we’re announcing six new features for the Shadeform platform 👇️
