Documentation

Real-time spot bidding market for AI tasks. Uber-vibes for AI. Consumer posts a task. Multiple providers bid in real-time with price, latency, and success rate. Consumer picks the winner. One demo video = 500 retweets.

When to Use

• Price discovery for high-value AI tasks ($5+ per invocation)
• Marketplace with 3+ competing providers for the same capability
• Consumer wants cheapest/fastest/most-trusted option dynamically
• Demo/showcase — split screen "task pool" + "bids arriving as bubbles"

Installation

pip install aimarket-auction

API Endpoints

Auction bus is in-memory. Routes available when plugin registers with hub.

Example

from aimarket_auction.spot_auction import AuctionBus

bus = AuctionBus()
task = bus.post_task("perf audit of landing page", budget_usd=5.0, deadline_s=60)

# Provider 1 bids
bus.place_bid(task.task_id, "hub1", "audit.perf@v1", 2.10, 18000, 0.96, bond_usd=500.0)
# Provider 2 bids — cheaper but slower
bus.place_bid(task.task_id, "hub2", "audit.perf@v1", 1.50, 35000, 0.94, bond_usd=300.0)

# Consumer picks provider 2 (cheaper)
result = bus.pick_bid(task.task_id, bus.get_bids_for_task(task.task_id)[1].bid_id)
print(f"Awarded to: {result['awarded_to']} at ${result['price_usd']}")
