Compute Volatility Indices
Econometric volatility forecasting and capacity shock benchmarks for compute derivative contracts, dynamic spot hedging, and SLA risk management across heterogeneous cluster deployments.
Compute VIX (A1 Spot VIX)
The institutional benchmark for compute market uncertainty, tracking 30-day forward annualized price volatility across global GPU spot markets. For infrastructure leaders and engineering teams, it provides early warning of impending spot price spikes and capacity shortages—allowing teams to dynamically schedule batch training or lock in short-term reserved clusters before rates climb. For digital commodity traders, hedge funds, and risk managers, it functions as the compute industry's 'VIX', delivering the indispensable volatility baseline needed to price compute options, underwrite forward contracts, and manage portfolio drawdowns.

Preemption Shock Index
A real-time early warning metric measuring sudden intraday surges in spot instance evictions and cloud provider capacity reclamations. For DevOps and MLOps teams executing mission-critical training or inference jobs, it provides the vital trigger needed to initiate automated checkpoint saves and orchestrate seamless multi-cloud failovers before catastrophic interruptions occur. For capacity brokers, market makers, and trading desks, it delivers an instantaneous signal of datacenter liquidity crunches and high-priority enterprise crowding, preventing costly delivery delays and fulfillment slippage.
