We're hosting a panel on the emerging market for AI compute.Compute is becoming something you can price, hedge, and trade. As demand for GPUs outruns supply and prices swing, the people who buy and sell compute are building the same market infrastructure that exists for energy and other commodities: indices, benchmarks, spot markets, and derivatives.Join us at SPC NYC for a conversation with people building that market from different sides:
Alejandro Soumah leads compute trading at Jump Trading, overseeing trading and transaction structuring across compute markets. He previously co-founded Itô Markets, an agentic compute trading desk, and worked as a quantitative analyst at Goldman Sachs.Carmen Li is the founder and CEO of Silicon Data, which provides GPU pricing, benchmarks, and market data for AI compute. She is also CEO of Compute Exchange, a marketplace for trading compute. Before founding Silicon Data in 2024, she spent more than 15 years in financial services, including roles at Bloomberg (global head of strategic alliances for enterprise data), Citi, and DRW.
Brexton Pham is Global Co-Head, AI & Compute Infrastructure at the Cantor Group where he leads cross-group compute efforts across Cantor, BGC, and Newmark.
