The San Francisco Compute Company
The San Francisco Compute Company (SF Compute) runs large-scale, vetted GPU clusters and operates a compute marketplace where buyers reserve H100/H200 capacity by the hour and sellers resell unused compute back into the market with no long-term lock-in. Its public preview REST API (api.sfcompute.com, base path /preview/v2) and the `sf` CLI let developers buy and sell compute via orders and an orderbook, manage pools of reserved balance, launch and operate GPU instances from images and templates, run procurements and deployments, and organize resources across workspaces with roles, grants, and tags. Authentication is a Bearer token (sk_live_ API key). The API is documented on a Mintlify docs site with a per-operation OpenAPI reference, an llms.txt index, and an official agent skill.
The San Francisco Compute Company publishes 14 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Deployments API, Feature Flags API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Company, GPU, Compute, Cloud Infrastructure, and Artificial Intelligence.
The The San Francisco Compute Company catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
The San Francisco Compute Company’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, changelog, support, pricing, and 33 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MLOps and AI/ML Infrastructure (LF AI & Data, MLPerf, Kubeflow) | builds-on | 17.2 (thin) | - | - |
| Hugging Face Hub Organisations | builds-on | 17.2 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 4
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
