Ornn AI is building the definitive marketplace for AI compute, transforming GPU resources from a volatile operational expense into a tradable, hedgeable, and investable asset class through institutional-grade financial infrastructure including cleared futures, options, and swaps. With credible spot price indices for GPU compute now established and major exchanges validating these product structures, Ornn provides standardized H100-equivalent GPU hour contracts that are cash-settled and centrally cleared, eliminating counterparty risk while ensuring regulatory compliance. Our phased roadmap begins with monthly futures and options, expands to continuous compute futures for simplified long-term hedging, and ultimately encompasses swaps, structured products, and new indices covering different hardware baskets and regions. Ornn solves critical market challenges by enabling AI companies to budget reliably for model training, helping cloud providers efficiently plan capital deployment, and giving institutional investors exposure to compute as a new asset class. By creating the first transparent forward price curve for compute and partnering with leading AI labs while distributing our data through major financial providers, Ornn is positioned to become the essential financial backbone of the artificial intelligence revolution.
