What If You Could Own Your AI Compute - And Get Paid for It?

LG Doucet speaks with B3 Labs co-founder Victoria Hying about B3 IQ, a marketplace designed to make commercial-grade Nvidia hardware accessible beyond large cloud providers. B3 procures and hosts customer-owned GPU systems in Oregon, then matches their idle capacity with AI labs, researchers, and other compute buyers.

Hying explains the company’s financing model, which can cover 70% of a machine’s purchase price while revenue from an offtaker helps repay the balance. The discussion also explores B3’s fleet-control software, which securely switches machines between users, and its longer-term goal of bringing transparent pricing and verifiable hardware data to a fragmented compute market.
