About InferenceIndexer
An independent price reporting agency for AI inference.
Mission
InferenceIndexer exists to bring price transparency to AI inference. As the number of model providers explodes and pricing structures fragment, developers, investors, and enterprises need a neutral, independent reference point. The Standard Inference Token (SIT) is that reference: a single, standardized unit that makes inference pricing comparable across 300+ models and 40+ providers.
We are building the CoinMarketCap of AI inference. Not an exchange. Not an aggregator. Not a routing service. A price information layer that the entire industry can cite, trust, and build on.
The Collaboration
InferenceIndexer.ai is a collaboration between two very different skill sets: a seasoned technology marketing executive who understands the inference market from the inside, and a CTO that handles the data pipeline, research, and technical execution.
Des sets the vision, defines the methodology, and owns the commercial strategy. Frank runs the data collection, market research, and infrastructure. One human, one agent, one product.
The Team
Des Martin
Wicklow, IrelandVision, methodology, commercial strategy
Des Martin is a technology marketing executive based in Wicklow, Ireland. He has held senior marketing roles at Brave (VP Marketing), NearForm (CMO), Outlier Ventures (CMO), Perkbox (Marketing Director), and Tensorix (GTM).
His career has sat at the intersection of emerging technology and go-to-market strategy: browser privacy, enterprise software, venture capital, and now AI infrastructure. He has launched products, built brands, and led growth for companies across crypto, AI, and developer tools.
InferenceIndexer grew out of a simple observation: the AI inference market has no price index. Every comparable commodity market - oil, crypto, cloud compute - has one. Inference doesn't. That gap is the opportunity.

Commitment
We are committed to building the most comprehensive, transparent, and independent price index for AI inference. Specifically:
InferenceIndexer does not provide inference services, route API calls, or take positions in any inference derivatives market. We are a price reporting agency, not a market participant.
The full SIT methodology is published. Data sources are public and verifiable. Every index calculation is reproducible from stored raw data.
Prices are fetched hourly from multiple sources. Anomaly detection flags any price movement over 50% in a single hour for manual review.
The index is free to view. The API is free for 1,000 requests per day. Historical data is accessible with a free API key.
Any change to the SIT methodology triggers a 14-day public comment period. All changes are versioned and documented.
