The Grid: AI Inference Goes to the Bidding Floor

Field notes

The Grid describes inference as a live market: suppliers bid to serve individual LLM requests, while customers pay the clearing price per token. Its public navigation exposes Markets, Pricing, Docs, Blog, and a Launch App, and the page claims a first request can be made in under five minutes. The site also advertises operation without subscriptions, usage limits, or provider lock-ins, though the extract does not identify participating models or suppliers.
