Vast.ai
PaidGPU infrastructure for AI workloads with on-demand instances, serverless endpoints, and dedicated clusters.
Tool Information
What is Vast.ai?
Vast.ai provides programmatic access to GPU infrastructure for AI training, inference, fine-tuning, rendering, transcription, and other compute workloads. It offers real-time pricing, per-second billing, and deployment through a web console, CLI, Python SDK, or REST API.
Core Features
GPU Cloud
Deploy on-demand GPU instances across more than 40 data centers and 20,000+ GPUs through the console, CLI, Python SDK, or API.
Serverless Endpoints
Deploy models as endpoints with automatic benchmarking, GPU optimization, autoscaling to zero, and billing based on compute time.
GPU Clusters
Use dedicated multi-node GPU clusters with InfiniBand networking for large-scale training.
Programmatic Provisioning
Search, filter, deploy, and scale GPU resources through a console, CLI, Python SDK, and REST API.
Model Templates
Start with ready-to-deploy templates for popular open-source models and frameworks.
Real-Time Pricing
View supply-and-demand GPU pricing and query available prices programmatically.
Open-Source Framework Support
Run open-source frameworks such as vLLM, TGI, and WebUI without proprietary licenses or usage fees.
