EST. 2026 · SYDNEY
The Private Market · where 95–99% of compute actually prices

Your deal prices in private. See it against the market anyway.

An estimated 95–99% of GPU deals price in private, negotiated commitments — no independent reference exists, and every existing one is published by a party with a position in the trade (sourced and cited). This path is The Grid’s answer: the check reads your quote against everything the record holds, the confidentiality demo shows exactly what the public would ever see from your row, and a confirmed submission becomes part of the only independent record of the negotiated market. The bargain runs one way: you can’t see yourself in the market without contributing to it.

Check a quote

Paste a quote, a term-sheet excerpt, or the thread it arrived in. One model call reads it; every figure in the reply is a dated stored record. A check stores nothing — storage happens only through an explicit confirm.

The priced unit

A headline $/GPU-hour is not what a buyer signs. What is customarily negotiated alongside price — configuration, quantity, term, region, delivery, SLA, prepay — and what the check reads per dimension today.

Participate

Evidence tiers, the confidentiality floors, and the benchmark-submission carve-out language a counterparty's counsel can verify before any term is disclosed.

Participation & carve-out
The register, stated honestly

Sealed submissions held: 0 — the register is new, and the reads say so rather than pretending otherwise. Every future row is sealed into a chained hash ledger whose digest is attested daily. The floors are structural: an aggregate renders WITHHELD below 2 comparable observations; nothing is cited from a cohort smaller than 5.
