Getting Started as a Supplier

Fill out this form to express your interest in joining us as a Supplier.

Suppliers on The Grid are inference providers, model labs, and infrastructure operators who sell Units of standardized capacity on the exchange. If your models meet the performance thresholds defined by an Instrument specification, you can list capacity and compete on price in a transparent market. We run a lightweight but deliberate process to ensure high-quality inference is delivered on The Grid. We evaluate you based on the following parameters during onboarding, and also perform continuous evaluations (SLA reviews, secret shopper style programs, etc.) once you've started supplying on the platform:

Spec fit:

• Whether you can supply inference for any current Instrument specifications

Operational maturity:

• Uptime expectations, observability, incident response, and on-call support

• Ability to sustain performance during demand spikes or partial outages

Collaboration readiness:

• Willingness to partner on rollout, remediation, and continuous improvement

Compliance constraints:

• Compliance with local jurisdiction requirements for data storage, retrieval, and usage
