The canonical rate table — every observed quote, its level, panel disposition and unchanged-days count, read against the assessed prints. This is the public panel a quote check draws on; where the panel is thin, the prints above say so rather than carrying a number.

Grid Basis, the exchange print over the assessed price
NO PAIR TODAY — GAP-H100 SPOT WITHHELD.
The basis is OCPI minus the day’s GAP-H100 spot print; with the spot print withheld (minimum-observation rule, notice 2026-08-16) there is no pair, and the previous print is not carried forward.
Standing buyer posture · Compute Supply · issue of 2026-09-09lockcleared settlement and basis compression are the confirmed signals; spot asks are holding” — quoted from the issue, never recomputed here
The read this surface offers (observation, not advice): where today’s lock premium sits in its own printed range, whether the cleared leg confirms it, and what the issue of record already said. A buyer who disagrees with the standing verb is disagreeing with a specific, printed number — that is the product working.
Honest caveats — printed with the read, always
  • The reserved leg is a 2-provider committed panel (azure $7.08, lambda $5.85) — thin, and printed as such.
  • Lambda’s underlying committed quote is known as of 2026-07-24 (committed prices move slowly; freshness window 3 days at assessment).
  • GTS-1Y is suspended from 2026-08-22: the value above is the final print of 2026-08-21, shown dated for the record — not a premium a buyer can act on today.
  • Grid Basis has no pair today — the GAP-H100 spot print is withheld (minimum-observation rule); the gauge renders no number and nothing is carried forward.

BENCHED / QUALIFYING — panel admission & benching rule (methodology change notice 2026-08-20): a benched leg keeps being collected and shown here with its reason, but its quote does not enter the assessed level and does not count toward the minimum-observation rule; a qualifying leg enters only after 7 consecutive clean collection days. The print’s provenance stamp carries the same dispositions.

The other leg of the term structure

Committed-term pricing, distinct scope from the on-demand panel (reserved leg added 2026-07-24). GAP-H100-R1Y is the provider-pooled median of these rows.

Commercial disclosure — how this register is paid for

Today, The Grid earns nothing from any provider on this page. No referral agreements exist; every link above is a plain link. If referral links are ever added, this band will say so by name, state what The Grid earns, and the following rules apply from the first dollar:

No payment influences assessment, panel inclusion, or coverage. Referral fees are permitted solely on this separated comparison surface under public disclosure and identical-terms rules. Assessment code cannot read referral data — the separation is structural. If referral income ever conflicts with assessment honesty, the referral surface is killed first; the print survives.

Identical terms are offered to every listed provider. Ordering is by observed price within class — there is no field in this system that can express paid placement.

THE GRID PUBLISHES CONDITIONS AND INPUTS — MARKET OBSERVATION, NEVER INVESTMENT OR PROCUREMENT ADVICE.
