Market Brief
Today in Compute College
Today's lesson
Comparing GPU cloud quotes means normalizing rate, capacity quality, access terms, and expected completed-workload cost. Why it matters today: Today's lesson connects the Buyers & Operators track to the compute market readers are watching.
Term of the Day
Inter-token latency is the time between successive output tokens. It describes the pace of a streaming answer after the first token arrives. A reply can start immediately and still feel slow if there are long gaps as the remaining text appears.
