As companies run more models, they still lack one independent number for what capability costs. Cambent publishes that number.
We've spent our careers inside enterprise infrastructure, selling exactly this transition — watching a raw technical resource become a shared reference the market can price against. We've run the play at the heart of Cambent before: publish an independent benchmark, help buyers see fair rates, and — when the market opens — let capacity move against that standard. Cambent publishes the number; you decide what to run. It worked in enterprise computing. AI tokens are next, and this time the standard itself is the product.
The index is live — methodology published and tracked. We’re recruiting a technical cofounder from trading, settlement, or pricing-engine systems. If that’s you, we’d like to talk.
An independent index can value every model against one standard. Cambent is independent of the model providers and clouds it measures, so its prices follow the market. Read it, compare against it, and use it in your own analysis. Commercial use needs a written license.
Cambent's benchmark learns from prices and aggregate outcomes, not from your prompts or evaluations.
A benchmark is worth what its methodology can defend. The TKX ships with its methodology in the open — an equal-weighted basket (consumption-weighting later), capability adjustment, and update cadence, documented.
