# The San Francisco Compute Company

**Website:** https://docs.sfcompute.com  
**APIs profiled:** 14

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.
