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 sells no models and runs no cloud — our incentive is an honest number. Use it however you like: read it, price against it, or wire it into your own routing.
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.
