Savings Model

Compression Calculator

Two cost centers, one compression. Model the fleet-level economics of Syntropic KV-cache compression — GPU serving and vector search — then pick the view that matches your deployment.

Illustrative model — not a measured Syntropic claim. Scales per-GPU unit economics across a fleet of memory-bound serving GPUs. The big saving is needing fewer GPUs once compression removes the memory pressure. Choose how GPU cost is paid (rented all-in, or owned + power) so energy isn't double-counted. Real figures are telemetry-verified per deployment; in compute-bound workloads savings fall toward zero.

What Syntropic delivers
More users & agents per GPU — frees the memory the KV cache was eating; one GPU serves far more concurrent sessions.
Fewer GPUs for the same workload — the dominant cost saving: lower rental and capex in memory-bound serving.
Longer context windows — push back the memory wall without adding hardware.
Less GPU↔CPU spillover — fewer stalls and lower latency; less data moved across the slow bridge.
Lower energy & carbon per token — more of the fixed power budget goes to revenue tokens.
Language-agnostic — compresses tensors, not language.
Encrypted, per-tenant KV — compression with per-user key isolation (AES-256).
Aligned pricing — a percentage of telemetry-verified savings; Syntropic only wins when the customer does.
ROADMAP cross-agent prefix de-dup & persistent warm-state tiering for agentic workloads.
How it scales: savings are computed per memory-bound serving GPU, then multiplied by fleet size. Consolidation = the smaller of compression and memory-bound factor. In "Rented" mode the dollar total is avoided rental (power already inside it); in "Owned" mode it is avoided hardware + separately-billed electricity.
Patents pending. Confidential — internal modelling & investor discussion. Defaults: H100 SXM ~700 W, rental ~$2.40–$3.00/GPU-hr (GMI/Lambda/SemiAnalysis, 2026); off-chip data movement ~10–35 pJ/bit (SemiAnalysis/Intel/Horowitz); PUE ~1.3; representative grid carbon. Reference scale: a 50,000-GPU cluster ≈ 35 MW. Continuous model; figures derived from adjustable assumptions, not validated benchmarks.
Illustrative model — not a measured Syntropic claim. Vectors (embeddings) must sit in RAM for fast search — that memory is the cost. Syntropic compresses them and searches in compressed form. Validated: 0.96 recall@10 at ~8× on 1,536-dim OpenAI embeddings. The dollar figures below are illustrative; the compression is measured.

RAM cost assumptions
Memory-optimized cloud capacity typically runs ~$3–5 / GB / month all-in. Compression applies to the resident index; search runs directly on compressed vectors.

Savings by compression ratio
How it reads. Same searches, same answers — the index simply holds in a fraction of the RAM. The saving scales linearly with vector count and dimension, so the largest indexes save the most. Recall is the measured part; the dollar translation is illustrative and is telemetry-verified per deployment in practice.
