Ornn Labs' GPU pricing index was added to Bloomberg Terminal, providing market-wide visibility into GPU cost trends.

Ornn AI Inc. announced that the Ornn Compute Price Index (OCPI) is now available on the Bloomberg Terminal, expanding institutional access to standardized GPU pricing. The publication marks six months since OCPI became a live index, establishing the first sustained benchmark tracking how AI compute pricing has behaved through a period of heavy capital deployment and heightened scrutiny of AI economics. An estimated $4 trillion in global capital is planned for AI data center infrastructure through 2030, with GPUs forming the core collateral base.

GPU pricing has remained largely bilateral and opaque, with posted list prices often diverging from what large buyers actually pay, and scraped indices misstate where transactions actually clear. In the absence of a shared benchmark, lenders and investors have relied on conservative assumptions around depreciation and terminal value, increasing the cost of capital and constraining deployment at the moment the market can least afford it. OCPI addresses this by reflecting negotiated transaction levels between data centers and compute buyers, currently tracking rental pricing for major GPU models including Nvidia H100, A100, H200, B200, and RTX class GPUs, with pricing normalized across hardware configuration, provider, and deployment context.

Wayne Nelms, Co-Founder and CTO of Ornn, stated: "Compute is becoming an infrastructure input that CFOs, lenders, and investors need to underwrite with the same rigor as electricity or natural gas. OCPI provides a reference rate grounded in actual market transactions, enabling more disciplined underwriting and risk management." Over its first six months, the dataset has captured pricing behavior across both Hopper and Blackwell generation chips, providing continuous visibility into how rates respond to new hardware releases and shifts in demand. Over 400 data center operators, investors, and AI companies currently access the Ornn platform to track GPU pricing.

OCPI forms the foundation of Ornn's broader product architecture by standardizing transaction data across key GPU SKUs into a shared market reference for compute value. This pricing layer enables forward curves tied to GPU rental rates, allowing institutions to model revenue, cost, and collateral assumptions over multi-month horizons. Ornn facilitates compute hedging contracts that allow counterparties to manage operating risk directly, with data center operators and lenders using these contracts to stabilize forward revenue, while large compute buyers hedge infrastructure cost exposure. As Kush Bavaria, Co-Founder and CEO, explained: "GPUs are not perfectly fungible, much like individual mortgages. Configuration, provider, and location all affect pricing. By standardizing those variables into an index, compute exposure becomes measurable and comparable, similar to how mortgage markets evolved through structured benchmarks." Ornn is headquartered in New York.
