How does CompuX compute credit financing work?

CompuX converts financing into compute credits with a 1.25x-1.50x multiplier. For example, $1M in financing becomes $1.25M-$1.50M in GPU compute credits through bulk purchasing and provider partnerships. Non-dilutive — no equity, no warrants. Approved in 48 hours.

How much can AI startups save with CompuX?

AI startups typically save 20-33% on compute costs through CompuX's credit multiplier. A startup spending $50,000/month on compute would save $12,000-$16,500/month, extending their runway by 3-5 additional months on the same budget.

How do compute providers benefit from CompuX?

GPU providers can monetize idle capacity through CompuX's pre-funded client pipeline. At 80% fill rate on idle GPUs, providers see 40-55% revenue uplift with zero payment risk — all CompuX clients are pre-financed.

What makes CompuX lending different from traditional venture debt?

CompuX uses blockable compute credits as programmable collateral. Unlike traditional lending where recovery takes 3-12 months through legal processes, CompuX can enforce collateral in milliseconds via API. This enables 70-85% recovery rates and net portfolio yields of 9-12%.

What GPU and AI model pricing does CompuX support?

CompuX supports 23+ AI models across 8 providers including OpenAI (GPT-4.1, GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6), Google (Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash), Meta (Llama 4), DeepSeek, Mistral, and Qwen. GPU infrastructure includes H100, A100, and H200 from CoreWeave, Lambda Labs, Together AI, and others.

How much does GPT-4o cost per token in 2026?

As of April 2026, GPT-4o costs $2.50 per million input tokens and $10.00 per million output tokens via the OpenAI API. With CompuX's 1.35x credit multiplier, the effective cost drops to $1.85 per million input tokens and $7.41 per million output tokens — a 26% reduction.

What is the cheapest AI API in 2026?

The cheapest AI API as of April 2026 is Google's Gemma 3n E4B at $0.02 per million input tokens and $0.04 per million output tokens. Other budget options include Llama 3.1 8B via Groq ($0.05/$0.08), GPT-4.1 Nano ($0.10/$0.40), and Gemini 2.0 Flash ($0.10/$0.40). With CompuX financing, these costs drop by an additional 20-33%.

How do LLM API prices compare across providers?

LLM API prices vary widely: budget models cost $0.02-0.15 per million input tokens (Gemma 3n, Llama 3.1 8B, GPT-4.1 Nano), mid-tier models cost $0.28-1.25 (DeepSeek V3, Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro), and premium models cost $2.50-5.00 (GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6). Output tokens typically cost 2-5x more than input tokens.

How does the multiplier work?

$1M in capital → $1.35M in compute credits. You repay the $1M + financing cost (typically 8-12% APR). Your effective compute cost drops by 26%. The multiplier depends on financing amount and term length. Full explanation →

How is this secured? CompuX uses blockable credits — programmable collateral that protects all parties:

For you: credits are real compute, usable on any provider
For capital partners: collateral enforceable in milliseconds, not months
For providers: guaranteed payment from capital partners, not startups

How is yield calculated?

Net yield = (interest income − losses + recovery) / facility size. Recovery rate of 75% assumes blockable credit collateral enforcement. Traditional unsecured lending recovery: 20-40%. Full portfolio analytics →

^* 75% recovery rate is based on CompuX's programmable collateral model. Blockable credits can be frozen in milliseconds via API — no legal proceedings needed. Traditional lending recovery takes 3-12 months with 20-40% typical recovery. How enforcement works →
