Today in Compute College
Today's lesson
Understand GPT-6.1 Sol through task quality, standard API pricing, cached context, reasoning effort, and cost per accepted result. Why it matters today: Today's lesson connects the Model Benchmarks & AI Compute Economics track to the compute market readers are watching.
Term of the Day
Spot compute is discounted compute capacity that can usually be interrupted or reclaimed by the provider. Buyers often use spot capacity for workloads that can pause, retry, or checkpoint without major damage. In AI, spot compute can reduce training or batch inference costs, but it adds reliability risk.
