Launching January 2027: an independent brokerage that will connect buyers and sellers of compute. Built by energy market veterans. Powered by AI.
Compute IDB will bring buyers, sellers, and market participants together, starting with physical GPU-hour forwards in January 2027 and expanding as financial markets develop.
Brokered agreements for future GPU capacity, matched to the hardware, location, service levels, and term each counterparty needs.
A planned expansion into compute futures, swaps, and options as contracts become available, connecting physical requirements with financial risk management.
Building a view of bids, offers, and forward prices by hardware, region, and term, grounded in the transactions that shape the market.
A broker gives you reach, discretion, and perspective. Our desk is being built to put that reach, discretion, and perspective to work for you.
Our desk will cover the market so you won’t have to call, text, and email counterparties one by one. We’ll gather interest, compare opportunities, and bring relevant bids and offers back to you.
We’ll work bids and offers anonymously during price discovery, helping you explore the market without broadcasting your identity, urgency, or broader position. Counterparties are disclosed when needed to qualify and execute the trade.
We’ll act as agent, never principal. We won’t own the capacity being offered or carry a trading position against you. Our role is to bring buyers and sellers together.
We’ll bring market knowledge, information, insight, and color from conversations across buyers and sellers, helping you understand pricing, availability, and where interest is developing, while protecting confidential client information.
When you approach a compute marketer or merchant directly, you may reveal what you need, how urgently you need it, and the position you’re trying to manage. That information can put you at a negotiating disadvantage. A broker helps you test the market while controlling what you disclose.
Buyers and sellers will contract directly. Compute IDB will bring structure and broker judgment to the process.
Establish hardware, quantity, location, start date, and term, or identify capacity available for sale.
Review counterparties, delivery requirements, service levels, and commercial terms.
Use an RFQ, competitive bidding, an auction, or direct negotiation to bring the right parties together.
Agree the transaction schedule, capture the trade, and coordinate the agreed settlement process.

IDB stands for interdealer broker: an intermediary that brings market participants together to negotiate and execute trades. Compute IDB will apply that brokerage model to compute.
Compute buyers and sellers, including AI labs, enterprises, neoclouds, and holders of contracted capacity, as well as trading firms and other institutional market participants.
No. Compute IDB will act as an agent. Buyers and sellers will contract with each other; the brokerage will help originate, negotiate, and document the transaction.
