We let an AI agent buy its own GPU compute 18 times. It never once walked away empty-handed.

We let an AI agent buy its own GPU compute 18 times. It never once walked away empty-handed.

Real x402 agent, real USDC on Base, no human involved. Over 4 days:

• 18 real purchases, 18 completed jobs
• 16 of 18 (89%) hit a failed first attempt — RunPod couldn't fulfill — and were automatically rerouted to a backup provider
• Zero dropped requests
• $0.88 in real settled payments

The agent never knew anything went wrong. It asked for compute, paid, and got it — every time.
