Ornn Compute Price Index Added to Bloomberg Terminal

NEW YORK, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ornn AI Inc., the company building the financial infrastructure to power the age of AI, today announced that the Ornn Compute Price Index (OCPI) is now available on the Bloomberg Terminal, expanding institutional access to standardized GPU pricing. The publication coincides with OCPI reaching six months as 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. Yet GPU pricing has remained largely bilateral and opaque. Posted list prices often diverge from what large buyers actually pay, and scraped indices can misstate where transactions actually clear. In the absence of a shared benchmark, lenders and investors have been relying on conservative assumptions around depreciation and terminal value, increasing the cost of capital and constraining deployment increasing the cost of capital and constraining deployment at the moment the market can least afford it

To address this, OCPI reflects negotiated transaction levels between data centers and compute buyers. The index currently tracks 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.

"Compute is becoming an infrastructure input that CFOs, lenders, and investors need to underwrite with the same rigor as electricity or natural gas," said Wayne Nelms, Co-Founder and CTO of Ornn. "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.

"GPUs are not perfectly fungible, much like individual mortgages," said Kush Bavaria, Co-Founder and CEO of Ornn. "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."

OCPI forms the foundation of Ornn's broader product architecture. By standardizing transaction data across key GPU SKUs, the index creates a shared market reference for what compute is worth, expressed in terms financiers and operators can underwrite against. That pricing layer enables forward curves tied to GPU rental rates, allowing institutions to model revenue, cost, and collateral assumptions over multi-month horizons.

Built on that pricing layer, Ornn facilitates compute hedging contracts that allow counterparties to manage operating risk directly rather than through proxy exposures. Data center operators and lenders use these contracts to stabilize forward revenue, while large compute buyers hedge infrastructure cost exposure.
