/ About /

The Grid is a spot market for LLM inference where suppliers bid in real time to serve AI requests, allowing buyers to pay the live clearing price per token. It supports OpenAI and Anthropic API formats and requires only a few lines of code to integrate. The platform offers automatic quality assurance, zero lock-in, and limit orders for cost-conscious teams.

/ How it works /

Suppliers bid in real time to serve API requests, and The Grid automatically routes each request to the best qualifying supplier at the lowest available price.

/ Who it's for /

Developers and engineering teams running LLM workloads at any scale
