Compute Exchange opens secondary market for used Nvidia H100 and A100 GPUs
The Compute Exchange Inc., a procurement marketplace for reserved graphics processing unit capacity, today launched a dedicated marketplace for used and refurbished GPUs, extending the platform into physical artificial intelligence hardware sourcing.
The service connects buyers with suppliers of older-generation Nvidia Corp. GPUs, particularly the H100 and A100, as enterprises, cloud providers and AI startups look to add capacity without paying for the newest chips. Compute Exchange said demand in the secondary market is concentrated around proven production hardware rather than the latest GPU generations.
Buyers submit hardware requests and are matched with qualified suppliers, with the platform providing support across sourcing, logistics and transaction execution. The company said it maintains a market-neutral position between buyers and sellers, a structure it argues sets the service apart from traditional procurement channels.
Requests have ranged from hundreds to tens of thousands of GPUs, according to Compute Exchange, spanning AI startups, cloud providers, enterprises and other infrastructure operators seeking additional capacity through the secondary market.
