Field report coming soon 🦅
Colocation and powered shells are the most difficult aspects to due diligence
Since many of our neoclouds have ran into misleading and fraudulent claims during their lease negotiations, we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands
Internet Backyard is built for operators
It can’t always be NYC or SF, someone gotta hold it down in Midland Texas
@netbackyard first field trip to a 300mw site with negative gas prices and liquid cooling
I love my job 🤠

@netbackyard builds the rails where compute is metered, billed, and settled. CEO Mai Trinh (ex-Sanctuary AI) is joining our September 30th session on GPU market structure, ahead of next month's GPU futures listing.
No two exchanges racing to launch agree on an index. Without a standard GPU-hour, there's nothing to hedge or lend against.
Join us live → luma.com/v7tsvirg
How do you trade a commodity without a verifiable and traceable general ledger?
You can’t. You can’t financialize something the market can’t agree happened.
Tune in on why.
Compute futures list October 5. Five days before this launch, hear from the people building this market on what to lean into and the common pitfalls to avoid.
Join Clément Salaün (CTO, @formancehq), Mai Trinh (CEO, @netbackyard), and Brett Harrison (CEO, @Architect_Fi) for a live webinar on September 30th.

Today we're launching gpuspec.io.
Buying or selling GPU capacity means describing the same cluster over and over: model, count, region, fabric, term, price. It's slow to write, easy to garble, and impossible to track once it's been forwarded a few times.
Remember the triangle of mythical creatures when you make your next compute procurement
Also, if you need compute, let us know to connect you to sellers
No broker
SITUATION EXPLAINED: Why are neo clouds sitting on compute while everyone else says there is not enough?
We asked @omaikasei, founder and CEO of @netbackyard
"This industry runs on handshakes and how good of a dinner you get to invite to."
"There's this triangle of mythology when it comes to compute. You either get early access at a higher price or less favorable terms, or you wait and get better terms and better pricing. Every single player in the industry wants all three things at the same time. That's a mythical creature that just doesn't happen."
"When people say that there's not enough compute, it means there's not enough compute that meets their specific demands. But there is a lot of compute available. Just they couldn't work on the price, they couldn't work on the term, they couldn't work on the live date."
"There are so many that we see the NeoCloud or the colo that we're working with that are just sitting on and waiting for offtaker to come in and meet where they're at."
Tune in at 10:15AM PST to hear our discussion about compute, finance and talent?!

If you wish that you've joined an early day unicorn, this is your chance
Come dilly dally
Adding more gnomes to the @netbackyard
We’re building a new asset class at the intersection of compute, finance, and AI, and demand is already setting our hair on fire
If you’re obsessed with data centers, want to make more compute available to the world, and want to help shape the next decade of the financial system, come build with us
We’re looking for people who are competent, dedicated, intense, and low ego.
This is not a walk in the park. We work hard, seriously hard.
But if that sounds like joy to you, we’d love to meet.

Calgary Stampede has A$AP Rocky, deadmau5, Alanis Morissette, and Jonah Kagen.
We've got Dan Marshall, @ellehcimnehs, Graeme Harrison, and a few heavy hitters we're keeping secret.
Different kind of headliners, same level of rizz.
When the cowbell rings, two people step forward to debate a question the industry can't seem to agree on.
Then everyone heads back to the Hot Tables, where the audience gets to ask the questions that never make it onto conference stages.
Everyone has an opinion about where AI infrastructure should be built.
Very few people are willing to defend that opinion in public.
And like the rest of our events, dancing is not optional, open bar all day from 11AM and cowboy hats are mandatory.
DM for tix, 20 spots left.
Compute market will not be built by a single company
It is being built by a group of positive geniuses that see opportunities beyond their own balance sheet
It’s a pleasure to build this market with @arkhai_io

happy to share I'm joining @netbackyard as a Member of Technical Staff 🌱
compute spend is messy and complex, yet somehow still tracked in spreadsheets - so we're building the financial layer of the compute economy.
now I'm headed to SF! excited to be back :)

Hard to get me out of the house for "tech events"
Never the less. Here I'll be.
Love Internet Backyard.
May 26, 6pm, Toronto, private debate on the future of compute infrastructure, sovereignty, and AI industrialization in Canada.
Topic: Will Canada become an AI compute power or remain raw material for someone else’s stack?
The session is intentionally off-record. No recordings, no photography, and no livestreaming will be permitted.
Attendance is limited to 40 experts in energy, land, construction, financing, chips, inference, neoclouds, AI labs, robotics.
Those who attend must dance, no exception can be made.

How VRAM actually gets consumed serving DeepSeek V4-Pro at FP4 across 4 GPUs.
4× B200, per card: weights overflow. Doesn't run. 4× B300, per card: 75 GB free per card for KV cache and concurrency.
Same hourly listed rate. Different operational reality.

just visited the new @netbackyard office and 🥹🥹🥹
if you haven’t read it yet, they’re building a financial layer (accounting, billing, payments) to price tokens based on infrastructure cost, model efficiency, and execution conditions 👇
internetbackyard.com/insight…
Side effects of working at Internet Backyard:
- Obsessed over agentic billings and payment system
- Can't stop thinking about tokenomic pricing arbitrage
- Realized that you're trusted 100% for big and small decisions
- Constantly become hotter, funnier and smarter
Suffering from success is a real problem, come experience winning

Private chef isn't the only benefit that MOTS at @netbackyard get

Applications are now open for the @BasisSet x Internet Backyard AI Fellowship.
We're looking for ambitious early-careers builders who want to bet on the financial infrastructure layer of AI before everyone else catches on.
As a fellow, you'll:
👉 Work directly inside the compute economy: neoclouds, inference, data center operators
👉 Build real experience with the billing and payments infrastructure that powers AI infrastructure companies
👉 Join a cohort of ambitious peers who will push you and open doors and access to the Basis Set platform
I can't overstate how early this is. The picks-and-shovels layer of AI is still being built. The people who understand it now will be the ones contributing today will be the ones laying the foundation for decades to come.
We’re building Internet Backyard to be the billing and payments backbone for compute. The fellows program is how we're investing in the next generation of people who'll run it.
Don't sit on it. Applications are rolling, but momentum favors the early.
Spots are limited. Apply now!

We’re throwing an invite-only speakeasy at @HumanXCo with @MassedCompute , Aranya Tech, and Amaara Networks.
Things that are not optional at this event:
Dancing
Drinking
Compute feining
Spots are limited, free token for attendees.
