SF Compute · FinOps Profile

Sfcompute Finops

FinOps view of SF Compute spend. SF Compute is a spot-priced GPU market: cost is the market-clearing price per block of GPU-hours rather than a fixed per-GPU-hour rate. Buyers place priced buy orders that resolve into contracts; unused contract time can be resold, creating an offsetting credit. Spend is driven by GPU-hours consumed across instance types (h100i, h100v, h200ki), the per-block clearing price, and any inference-fleet capacity. Balances and transactions are exposed in cents via the API for reconciliation.

Sfcompute Finops is the FinOps profile for SF Compute on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 5 billable meters, billed in USD, on a usage cycle, and pricing category usage-based.

The profile maps 8 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.

Tagged areas include GPU, Compute, Marketplace, H100, and Spot Pricing.
