Commit early. Pay less.
Buy inference capacity in advance at a significant discount: a fixed block of tokens on a named model for a delivery month, served through one OpenAI-compatible key. Draw it down at your pinned per-token rates from the month’s first day.
- Up to 20% off list for committing ahead
- A posted price, pinned the moment you buy
The discount is a curve, not a negotiation
The standard curve prices each delivery month below the model’s list rate (its posted per-1M output rate, fixed at listing): 10% per 30 days to maturity, the month’s last day, capped at 20%. The cap binds from about 60 days before the month ends, so a contract bought two months ahead earns the full discount. Live prices are in the market.

Size, and models that haven’t shipped
Need more than the posted book shows? Post the size, months, and models you need on the RFQ (request-for-quote) desk; providers respond with quotes, and paying the winning quote in full, directly to the provider (from your balance, by card or by wire), forms the award. Touchmark issues the contract within 24 hours. Benchmark-referenced contracts cover models that haven’t shipped: quoted in Synthetic Tokens and resolved to a named model shortly before delivery. The mechanics: the FAQ.
