Compute Overhang

The Inference Clearinghouse

Route every prompt through open competition and capture the best available economics without sacrificing reliability.

Turn fragmented model supply into a durable price-and-reliability edge.

Why teams use Compute Overhang

Lower cost per token

Every request triggers real-time bidding, so providers compete on price instead of locking you into one margin stack.

Higher reliability

If a winner fails before first token, requests are re-auctioned automatically once to keep responses moving.

Model-agnostic by design

Keep your OpenAI-style integration while routing to the best eligible provider at runtime.

Built for production

API-key auth, idempotency, bounded in-memory controls, and durable SQLite event persistence are included by default.

How it works

  1. Your app sends a normal OpenAI-compatible request.
  2. Connected providers submit live bids with price, ETA, and capacity.
  3. Compute Overhang picks the lowest eligible offer and executes the response.
