Vast.ai

Founded 2018

Rent on-demand cloud GPUs to train machine learning models and run AI workloads

You can use Vast.ai to rent on-demand cloud GPUs at low costs for machine learning, deep learning, and 3D rendering. The service lets you search and filter thousands of GPUs by architecture, VRAM, and pricing across global data centers. You can launch compute instances directly through a web console, command line interface, or Python SDK. Additionally, Vast.ai offers serverless endpoints that autoscale to zero for model inference, as well as dedicated multi-node clusters with high-speed networking for large-scale distributed machine learning training jobs.
