Circumventing the Computational Hardness of Computational Arbitrage

arXiv cs.AINovember 2, 2026en

arXiv:2610.40831v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI model marketplaces host providers with heterogeneous costs and capabilities. These differences create an opportunity for computational arbitrage (Olmedo et al., 2026), in which an intermediary purchases inference from a portfolio of models and resells it to users at a profit. Beyond creating profit opportunities for the arbitrageur, computational arbitrage offers financial value to both consumers and providers and could therefore significantly influence AI model markets. While prior work empirically demonstrates the feasibility of computational arbitrage for small model pools, scaling it to large marketplaces requires arbitrage strategies th
