Products & Services
A planned CFTC-regulated U.S. Designated Contract Market for futures and options on GPU compute costs and other AI supply-chain inputs, including memory, power, metals and related commodities.
A live auction platform where inference providers quote to serve LLM requests and the lowest-priced qualifying offer wins; it provides live order books, price discovery, routing, usage billing and OpenAI-/Anthropic-compatible APIs.
A Bermuda-regulated, global perpetual-futures exchange for currencies, interest rates, stocks, indexes, metals, energy, commodities and compute-related products.
High-throughput exchange matching technology, APIs, SDKs, FIX connectivity, margin and order-lifecycle tooling, and U.S. electronic brokerage through Architect's regulated subsidiaries.
Market Position
Architect positions the AI Exchange as a first-mover U.S. regulated venue purpose-built for AI-economy commodities, combining derivatives, brokerage and exchange-for-physical infrastructure. Liquid Inference differentiates from static model-provider price lists and conventional LLM routers through auction-based quote competition, transparent market data, firm pre-trade limits and exchange-style execution; relevant alternatives include traditional futures venues such as CME for commodity derivatives and conventional cloud/model APIs and LLM routing platforms for inference.

Founding Story
Architect was established in 2023 by Brett Harrison and Nate Clancy to build institutional-grade exchange and brokerage infrastructure and apply regulated-market structure and novel derivatives design to traditional assets and the emerging AI economy.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Transaction and exchange fees, brokerage and trading-technology services, and metered usage fees for Liquid Inference; inference providers compete on per-token prices and buyers pay for generated tokens.
Pricing Tiers
Providers set prices per model; the cheapest provider satisfying the buyer's rules wins. Input tokens are priced separately and users are billed only for produced tokens.
