Flop

FLOP Network (Flop Labs) — A 60-second-cadence GPU rentable-capacity and margin panel: confirmed rentable capacity by provider and GPU class normalised into H100-equivalent units via measured rather than nominal throughput, with explicit lower-bound discipline (unknown inventory is never recorded as zero, and intervals lacking an exact observation are bridged rather than filled); live price floors per class; blended rent per H100e-hour on qualified live stock; and a model-level economics layer computing what a rented GPU earns when resold as inference tokens against live API-market quotes, yi…

Flop offers (Alternative, Price, Supply Chain) — Live sweep every 60 seconds: 4,503 physical GPUs measured as a confirmed lower bound, expressed as 1,391.23 H100-equivalent units of which 878.39 are priced (63.14% priced-throughput coverage), plus a per-model decision table spanning at least 7 models each carrying OpenRouter/AIHubMix/SiliconFlow quotes, benchmarked rental cost, G(n) delivery versus calibration, margin range, base margin and break-even rent, and provider-level capacity and price-floor records. At 60s cadence this is roughly 52K sweeps per provider-set per year — two orders of magnitude denser than the daily/hourly indices in this category..

Quantifying the structural arbitrage between renting GPUs and reselling inference — the negative base margins and per-model break-even rents define the price ceiling a GPU marketplace can sustainably charge, which no price index measures; real-time supply-availability monitoring as an AI-capex leading indicator using a confirmed lower bound that never overstates; GPU marketplace and neocloud pricing strategy (break-even rent per model as a floor-setting input); inference-provider margin modelling across API marketplaces; capacity-verification diligence for buyers told capacity exists but unable to confirm it; and forward price discovery via the index-linked contracts as a hedgeable compute-price instrument.
