Quantum compute is still sold like enterprise software Reserve capacity, sign contracts, pay huge minimums, then hope the hardware you booked is actually right for the job @quipnetwork is trying to turn that into a spot market Consumers buy compute credits, operators sell spare QPU, GPU and CPU capacity, and a clearinghouse is designed to route demand toward the hardware that can solve it No flat reservation price No need to own the machine Just pay for the slice of compute the job actually needs And there is already a decent preview of what that market could look like At https://t.co/5ameLtR0bc nearly 100 people built portfolio agents and 1,930 optimization races ran as jobs through Quip using D-Wave quantum hardware against a classical solver The QPU returned the better portfolio in 970 races and tied the other 960 on that specific benchmark Not a quantum advantage claim But enough to show what happens when specialized compute can be requested instead of owned GPUs got cloud instances Quantum hardware may end up getting an order book @quipnetwork is trying to build it
