We’re launching GPU Cluster Auctions — competitive bidding for reserved GPU capacity, running alongside the on-demand GPU cloud you already use.
If you’ve tried to lock in a block of B200s or B300s lately, you know how it goes: long procurement cycles, little visibility into what the going rate actually is, and no certainty the capacity will materialize at the end of it. Cluster Auctions is our answer to that — structure and price discovery for reserved compute.
“With the newest GPU generations, too many buyers are stuck in uncertainty,” says Tom Trowbridge, our CEO. “They know demand is high, they know supply is tight, but they often have no real view into market pricing or where they stand. GPU Cluster Auctions is built to fix that by bringing structure and price discovery to reserved GPU procurement.”
How it works
If you need capacity. Publish your requirements: GPU model, quantity, region, rental dates, budget, bidding window, and providers bid on them. You compare offers in one place, across both commercial and technical criteria: price, availability, fabric, deployment model, SLA.
If you have capacity. Bid into open requests, or list what you have available and let buyers compete for it. No one-off broker workflows, no fragmented sales channels.
Either way, an accepted bid creates a shared deal record — price, SLA, rental window, and full bid history — that carries straight into contracting.
During discovery and bidding, identities stay controlled on both sides. Buyer and provider names surface at the deal stage, so you can evaluate terms before anyone knows who they’re talking to.
What it’s for
Reserved clusters, not ad hoc instances: model training, fine-tuning, large-scale inference, long-running production deployments. Anything where you need to know the cluster is yours for a defined window, on defined terms.
That gives you two ways to get GPUs from us:
- On-demand: Immediate access, predictable billing, zero egress fees, full deployment control
- Auctions: Reserved clusters with defined dates, terms, and capacity commitments
Live now
We’re opening with 6,000+ GPUs across 13 countries. First auctions are live at launch, including:
- H100 ×176 in South Korea
- H200 ×1024 in East US
- B300 ×1024 in US
- B200 ×1024 in Canada
Anyone can browse activity before signing up. To post a request, bid, list supply, or sign a deal, you’ll go through a short review first.
Markets move in cycles. When supply is tight, you need a way to compete for scarce capacity and see the real clearing price. When capacity opens up, providers need a fast way to fill clusters at the best price they can offer. This works for both sides of that cycle.
