Perf Isolation* **On-demand**: Fixed pricing, guaranteed resources (high priority)
Developer Experience
OnboardingCredits required up front; storage billed while instance exists (including when stopped); when credits reach zero instances are automatically stopped; if a credit card is on file it will be auto-charged to restore balance.
FrameworksTensorFlow, PyTorch
CLI ToolingCLI tool exists; example: `vastai search offers` and a CLI Commands reference.
TemplatesTemplates define the Docker image and connection method, a template editor exists and a recommended template is referenced.
DocumentationDocumentation includes a Dashboard (web), CLI commands, API endpoint reference, and multiple guides (Serverless Pricing, Instance Types, Reserved Instances, Billing) plus Templates documentation.
API FeaturesUnspecified APIs, likely include RESTful services and management interfaces for integration with existing tools

Key Strengths
Marketplace model with market-driven rates, combined compute+storage+bandwidth pricing, pay-by-second billing, no markup over host prices, direct competition between hosts, and global GPU supply.
Known Limitations
Vast is a marketplace and does not manage or provide hardware
availability depends on hosts and prices are not static (market-driven).
Additional Information
Support Options
24/7 expert support, SLA-backed support structures
Core Proposition
marketplace model where hosts set their own prices
Payment Methods
Credits must be added to account before starting instancesif a credit card is on file it will be automatically charged to restore balance when credits run out.
