BitdepthIndependent grades for inference endpoints
Bitdepth Market

Lock in a price. Know you get what you paid for.

Reserve capacity on an open-weight model from one provider for 90 days, at a fixed price or at market with the grade guaranteed. Bitdepth grades the endpoint every night. If it falls short, you get those tokens back. If you can't use the rest, you hand it to another buyer.

We're matching the first blocks now. A block is issued by the provider. Bitdepth never holds capacity, never holds your money, and never touches a key.

The problem

Prices move, discounts dry up, and the same model name can return different outputs on different providers.

A model name alone doesn't tell you what you're buying. A graded endpoint does. A block pins all of it down: the model, the provider, the grade, the price, and the term.

How a block works

1

You choose the model, the grade you need, and your monthly volume.

2

We match you with a provider whose endpoint holds that grade.

3

You pick the shape: a fixed price per million output tokens for 90 days, or the provider's market price with the grade guaranteed.

4

Bitdepth grades it nightly. You and the provider see the same result each morning.

Two shapes

Lock the price, or lock the grade.

Same grade condition, same credits, same right to hand on the remainder.

Fixed price

A price per million output tokens that does not move for 90 days. For a buyer with flat revenue and a per-token bill. You carry the risk that list prices fall; you get a cost you can plan on.

Market price, grade guaranteed

You pay the provider's listed price as it moves. For a buyer who expects prices to keep falling and wants the guarantee, not the lock. The nightly grade, the credits and the exit are the same.

Protection

If it goes wrong

This is what makes a block worth anything.

What happensWhat you get
The endpoint grades below the agreed letter on a nightThat day's tokens are credited to you at the block price
The provider can't serve your committed volume, or errors spikeCounts as a below-grade day
The provider changes the model or its declared precisionLogged with a date. The next night's grade decides.
Three below-grade days in a rowYou can end the block and get back what you prepaid for undelivered tokens
You can't use the restYou list the remainder. Another buyer takes it on and the provider issues them their own key. Nothing of yours changes hands.
A night can't be measuredCounts for no one. Two in a row trigger a manual check.

For providers

Sell capacity at a committed price to a buyer who knows exactly what they're getting. A good grade is your proof, checked every night by someone who isn't you. Already sell reserved capacity? Keep it. A block adds the grade and gives your buyer an exit.

What this is not

Not a place to resell credits or keys. Every lab's terms forbid that, and we won't touch it. A block is a claim the provider issues, so handing it on is a reissue by the provider, not a key swap.

How the grade stays fair

Bitdepth runs the market and never serves inference itself. Every grade is computed by code from a published method, the same for every endpoint, and paying Bitdepth for anything can't change a letter.
