ICE and Ornn, a market leading compute company building financial markets for AI, today announced plans to launch a suite of GPU compute futures contracts based on Ornn’s Compute Price Index (OCPI), which tracks live-traded spot prices for GPU compute across major hardware types.   “As AI has rapidly moved from research labs and academic campuses to becoming one of the most important drivers for the global economy, the market for compute has evolved just as quickly and is in desperate need of a globally accepted pricing mechanism and risk management tool,” said Trabue Bland, SVP of Futures Markets at ICE. “Ornn’s index, which is bringing greater transparency into the volatile cost of GPUs, is a natural fit for futures markets and we’re excited to offer a new tool for price discovery and risk management.”   Read the release: https://lnkd.in/e68paecr

Sustainability teams didn't sign up to spend their days buried in compliance processes. But right now, that's what's happening. When brands buy cocoa and coffee, a huge amount of money, time and energy goes into duplicative, manual and error-prone due diligence checks - leaving less room for the work that actually drives progress. ICE CoT changes that. Our trusted, standardised framework simplifies compliance processes so sustainability teams can spend less time checking and more time doing - designing programmes, supporting farmers, and delivering the impact they were hired to create. Buying cocoa and coffee with an ICE CoT badge means simpler compliance and more space for what matters.
