Vancouver, BC – April 8, 2026
Data centers are becoming moreflexible and profitable by routing compute based on real-time energy prices.
As AI adoption increases globally, thanksto vibe coding and the deployment of new apps, and AI agents, inference hasbecome the largest consumer of electricity.
This change reveals the need for a newstrategy to manage how and where compute consumes energy in real time.
Aware of the new market demand and withover a decade in energy management for Data Centers, LōD Technologies announcedthe launch of CLōD, the world’s first compute flexibility platformdesigned specifically for AI inference workloads.
The system introduces a new paradigm fordata center flexibility by aligning AI compute demand with real-time gridconditions.
“Electric grids rely on price signals tobalance supply and demand,” said Medi Naseri, CEO of LōD Technologies.“CLōD extends that same mechanism to AI compute. When the grid sends a signal,workloads can respond automatically without disrupting applications or endusers.”
Within just days of launch, CLōD hasalready processed billions of inference tokens and has attracted over 1500developers to the platform, demonstrating immediate adoption of a new approachto managing AI workloads and energy consumption that translates into savingsfor Data Centers and final users.
While data center flexibility has beenwidely discussed across the energy and infrastructure sectors, most initiativeshave remained limited to concept papers, pilot programs, or demand responseexperiments that require operators to throttle or curtail operations duringgrid events, affecting end users' experience. These approaches introduceoperational risks and often conflict with service-level agreements (SLAs).
CLōD represents the first successfulproduction implementation of flexibility for AI inference workloads, moving the concept beyond theoretical discussions and pilot programsinto real-world operation.
Built on LōD’s patented energy-awarecompute orchestration technology, CLōD represents the first successfulproduction implementation of flexibility for AI inference workloads, movingthe concept beyond theoretical discussions into real-world operation.
This platform encourages flexibility byresponding to market signals at the application layer. It dynamically adjuststhe pricing of inference tokens based on real-time electricity prices, gridconditions, and active demand response programs. This allows workloadsto be routed to locations and times where energy is cheaper and more readily available.
Besides adding flexibility to DataCenters and supporting the grid, CLōD delivers discounts of up to 60%compared to market rates, encouraging end users to adopt flexible computewith zero integration required from data centers or cloud providers.Since flexibility is implemented at the routing and pricing layer, performanceremains largely unaffected, with early deployments showing a maximumadditional latency of roughly 50 milliseconds.
The launch of CLōD represents a majormilestone in LōD’s broader vision of transforming computing into grid-interactiveinfrastructure. By aligning the economics of AI compute with the economicsof electricity markets, the company believes large-scale computinginfrastructure can become an asset to the grid rather than a source of stress.
