Vast.ai
Vast.ai is a GPU marketplace where independent hosts and certified data centres set their own hourly prices; instances are billed by the second, with cheaper interruptible and discounted reserved options.
Last updated Run by Vast.ai Inc., United States.
Vast.ai Inc., founded in 2016 and incorporated in Delaware, runs a GPU rental marketplace and has its headquarters in Los Angeles. Hosts, not Vast.ai, set the prices, so they move with supply and demand. Instances are billed by the second while they run, and reserved instances are paid for in advance at a lower rate. Storage keeps costing money until an instance is deleted.
