A market for buying or selling AI computing power through unofficial channels.
It is like buying concert tickets from a guy outside the arena. The GPU time may cost more. Its story may sound a little shady.
It can help people who cannot find GPUs. But it can bring data risks, rule-breaking, and sudden service loss.
GPU Marketplace
Grey-market deals sit outside the checks and safety nets of a GPU Marketplace.
AI API Reseller
Some grey-market computing power is resold as API access through an AI API Reseller.
AI Export Controls
Cross-border resales may be used to dodge AI Export Controls.
Compute Shortage
A Compute Shortage can make grey-market deals grow.
