Priced based on Real-Time Energy Cost

Prices update in real time based on energy costs — always below the provider's list price cap. Guaranteed.

HOW IT WORKS

## Patented energy-aware routing. The infrastructure advantage no one else has.

Data center energy costs fluctuate throughout the day based on real-time electricity market prices.

CLōD monitors those prices continuously across North America and routes every inference request to the lowest-cost available data center — automatically, with no configuration required on your end.

You pay less per token because the infrastructure is smarter. Not because we're cutting margins.

Early deployments show up to 60% savings with a maximum additional latency of roughly 50 milliseconds.

THE REAL PROBLEM

## The cost to build AI is falling. The cost to run it isn't.

Inference costs compound fast and tend to become a crisis right when your product is trying to scale.

CLōD is built so you never have to discover that problem the hard way.

Why we exist

## AI inference costs shouldn't slow builders down.

### CLōD's Manifesto

We believe AI is one of the most powerful shifts of our time, and its future should be shaped by builders, not gatekeepers.

We're on a mission to change that. By optimizing energy use, rethinking how compute is routed, and lowering the cost of inference, we make AI more accessible to the builders creating what is next.

The future shouldn't belong to those who pay the most, but to those who dare to dream beyond. And we're here to make that possible.

BUILT WITH CLōD
