A request states the capacity your company needs. The GPU Outlet team matches it to listings and offers it to sellers. Sellers see the demand without your company name. When a seller accepts, you are introduced and contract directly. Your requests live at `/app/requests`, under **Requests** on the **Buy** menu. Only an owner, authorized signatory or trader can create, edit or close a request. A viewer sees "Only an owner, signatory or trader can state demand." See [Team and roles](/account/team-and-roles). ## Create a request Press **New request** on `/app/requests`, or **Request this capacity** on a [Radar](/buying/radar) listing. The form opens at `/app/requests/new`. From Radar, **GPU** and **Region** arrive filled in. You can send requests before your company signs the **Buyer marketplace agreement**. See [Agreements](/account/agreements). The form has three sections: **Capacity**, **When, and for how long** and **Commercial**. ### Capacity | Field | Rule | Notes | | - | - | - | | **GPU** | Required, up to 64 characters | The GPU model, for example `H100 SXM`. | | **GPUs per node** | Whole number, 1–64 | Starts at 8. | | **Nodes** | Whole number, 1–10,000 | Starts at 1. | | **Region** | Required, up to 64 characters | "Where the capacity should be. A country or a broad region is enough." | ### When, and for how long | Field | Rule | Notes | | - | - | - | | **Starts** | Required date | Cannot be more than 24 hours in the past. | | **Term** | **Months** or **Until a date** | Pick one. | | **Months** | Whole number, 1–60 | Shown when **Term** is **Months**. Starts at 12. | | **Ends** | Date after **Starts** | Shown when **Term** is **Until a date**. | ### Commercial | Field | Rule | Notes | | - | - | - | | **Monthly budget (optional)** | An amount, for example `120000` or `120000.50` | "Sellers see the figure without your name. Leave it empty to let them quote." | | **Currency** | **USD** or **EUR** | Starts at **USD**. | | **Notes (optional)** | Up to 2,000 characters | Never shown to sellers. | Use **Notes** for interconnect, storage, compliance or anything else that narrows the match. The GPU Outlet team reads them when preparing a match. Sellers see the demand, not these notes. Press **Send the request**. If a field needs fixing, the form says "Some fields need attention. Fix the marked ones and send again." and marks each field. Once sent, you land on the request's own page. Be specific. A seller judges the fit on the demand alone, because it carries no company name. ## What sellers see A seller offered your request sees only the demand: * GPU model, GPUs per node and nodes * Region * Start date, and the term in months or the end date * Monthly budget and currency, or "Budget not stated" A seller never sees your company name, your country, your notes or who created the request. Your company is revealed only when a seller accepts. See [Opportunities](/selling/opportunities) for the seller's view. If a seller declines, nothing changes on your request page. The request can still be offered to other sellers. ## Statuses | Status | Meaning | | - | - | | **Open** | The request is live. No seller has been offered it yet. You can edit it. | | **Awaiting seller** | It is with at least one seller, offered by the GPU Outlet team or by your own **Reserve**. It can still be offered to more. Its terms are frozen. If every seller declines, it returns to **Open**. | | **Closed** | The request is closed. Sellers stop seeing it. This is final. | The GPU Outlet team prepares matches by hand. A request can stay **Open** until the team finds a fit. Winning a lot creates a request on your company's behalf, copied from the listing you bid on and noted as coming from the auction. It arrives already matched, because the introduction it belongs to exists. See [Bidding](/buying/bidding). ## Edit a request Open the request and press **Edit**. The same form opens with your values. Press **Save changes**. **Edit** is available only while the request is **Open**. Once a seller has been offered it, the page says "A seller has been offered this request, so its terms are frozen. Close it and create a new one to change them." Terms freeze because the seller has already read them. The demand a seller accepts has to be the demand you stated. ## Close a request Press **Close request** on the request page. A dialog asks "Close this request?" and explains "Sellers stop seeing it. An introduction already made stays." * Press **Close request** to confirm, or **Keep it open** to back out. * Closing cannot be undone, and a request cannot be deleted. Create a new request whenever you need one. * An introduction already made on the request stays in place, with everything in it. ## The request page Each request has its own page at `/app/requests/:id`. It shows: * A summary of the demand, with region, start, term and budget. * The status. * Your notes, if any. * **Edit** and **Close request**, when allowed. * **Introductions**: every introduction made on this request. While the request is **Open**, an empty section reads "No seller has accepted yet. You are told the moment one does." Otherwise it reads "No introduction on this request." ## The requests list `/app/requests` lists your company's requests. Each row shows the demand, region, start date, term and status. * Filter by status with the **Any status** menu: **Open**, **Awaiting seller** or **Closed**. * Press **Load more** to see the next page. * Press **New request** to create one. ## Related Browse listings and start a pre-filled request.
