LOCK IN CAPACITY.
LOCK IN PRICING.
PLAN FORWARD.
Reserve GPU compute for future workloads with forward contracts. Secure availability, lock in pricing, and eliminate uncertainty for planned training runs, inference deployments, and scheduled research.
Whether you need guaranteed capacity for a Q3 model launch or want to hedge against price volatility, forward contracts give you budget certainty and capacity confidence.
RESERVE COMPUTE
IN THREE STEPS
Post your capacity needs, get matched with supply partners, and lock in your forward contract.
Define your future compute needs: GPU model, quantity, duration, start date, and target pricing. Post a bid to buy capacity, or an ask to sell GPUs you have available.
We connect you with supply partners who can fulfill your forward contract. Review counterparty details, available capacity, and proposed terms before committing.
Execute the forward contract with your matched partner. Pricing is locked, capacity is reserved, and you have guaranteed access when your start date arrives.
PLAN AHEAD.
ELIMINATE RISK.
Reserve capacity months in advance. When your workload starts, your GPUs are ready — no scrambling for spot capacity or waiting in allocation queues.
Lock in today's pricing for future usage. Hedge against market volatility and budget with confidence for planned training runs and deployments.
Perfect for recurring batch jobs, quarterly model refreshes, and seasonal inference spikes. Schedule your compute needs around your business cycle.
Forward pricing often beats on-demand rates. Suppliers offer discounts for committed capacity, reducing your average compute cost over time.
Formalized agreements with verified counterparties. Clear terms on pricing, capacity, uptime SLAs, and cancellation policies.
Fixed-price contracts make financial planning easy. No surprise bills, no price spikes — just predictable GPU spend aligned to your runway.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A forward contract is a commitment to buy or sell GPU compute capacity at a specified price for a future date. TCEX facilitates matching between buyers and sellers — we don't take ownership of hardware or act as a counterparty.
TCEX helps match supply and demand. Once matched, buyers and sellers negotiate and execute terms directly. We recommend involving legal counsel before finalizing any commitment.
There's no hard minimum, but forward contracts are typically most practical at 32+ GPUs with durations of 1 month or longer. Smaller needs may be better served by the spot secondary market.
You set your target price when submitting a request. We match you with counterparties whose pricing aligns. Final terms — including pricing, SLAs, and payment schedules — are negotiated between parties.
Cancellation terms are negotiated between counterparties as part of the contract. TCEX recommends including clear cancellation and force majeure clauses in all agreements.
Our supply partners operate across US-EAST, US-WEST, US-CENTRAL, EU-WEST, EU-NORTH, and APAC regions. Select GLOBAL if you're flexible on location.
