Empromptu AI announced Grid Guard, a new solution enabling AI data centers to predict, smooth, and price GPU-driven power volatility. Grid Guard staggers workloads by 50 to 200 milliseconds to turn sharp power spikes into smooth ramps, with early deployments showing an average 80 percent reduction in power volatility without meaningful impact on AI workload performance. It is Empromptu’s first data center operations application and is already engaged with a major power company ahead of a live deployment. The solution operates across four capabilities: predicting near-term GPU workload power swings, smoothing them by phasing and scheduling workloads, controlling infrastructure response by sending forward demand signals to batteries and generators, and pricing volatility to reward efficient operations. Shanea Leven, CEO and co-founder of Empromptu, said, “AI data centers are being built at a pace the power grid was never designed to support. Grid Guard is how we make that buildout sustainable, by making the software smarter about when and.”
