Very excited for this.
Ed’s point about compute access in the era of agents is spot on.
Plus, AI infrastructure needs changes to meet the demands of agentic engineering.
Agents may need GPUs for inference and CPUs to run code in the same workflow (e.g., co-evolution of model and harnesses). I want rental options that fit those changing needs.
Follow @edsgoode and @shadeformai this week for cool launches around this.
Ed Goode (@edsgoode): 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

Jaya Gupta and Ashu Garg argue the AI economy is shifting from model training and inference to agent execution — where CPU-based work like scheduled checks, storage, and transaction recovery dominates cost — and that application builders, not model or GPU providers, will control who gets paid.
@Saccc_c: Universities, enterprises, and AI professional users can now own dedicated GPU servers at a lower barrier? And you can earn income without having to operate it yourself? There are currently two main ways to purchase AI compute: the first is renting from cloud vendors, with obvious drawbacks—prices are dictated by GPU supply and demand and are very unstable; the second is buying a whole machine, but...
B3 Labs has released B3IQ, allowing universities, enterprises, and AI professional users to purchase and host NVIDIA GPU servers in installments with a 30% down payment. When idle, the computing power can be rented out for income, which can be used to offset the purchase price or as direct earnings. It has already been used by Stanford, NYU, and many other universities.
