Welcome to Vast.ai

Welcome to Vast.ai — the GPU marketplace where thousands of ML engineers, researchers, and developers access high-performance compute at a fraction of hyperscaler pricing.

You're a few steps away from your first running instance:

Step 1 — Verify your email

(Do this first)

Check your inbox for the verification link. Until your email is verified, your account has a very small spend rate limit that may prevent instance creation.

Resend verification email if needed (https://cloud.vast.ai/account/?utm_source=hs_automation&utm_medium=email&utm_content=406315304&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8F75y3GTfuwTb6ZD8miKucrpgZrHsJRYVMJDbqna2v3VoVO5ewdYSZCY14knfgPEWFaXIr0_XypkIsWLVqZ28Zem80XymvJuOqQWRYSRY-Oyn83dJtb1CWIyabiWBCOi4DjsU1&_hsmi=406315304 )

Step 2 — Add an SSH key

Go to Keys (https://cloud.vast.ai/manage-keys/?utm_source=hs_automation&utm_medium=email&utm_content=406315304&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8F75y3GTfuwTb6ZD8miKucrpgZrHsJRYVMJDbqna2v3VoVO5ewdYSZCY14knfgPEWFaXIr0_XypkIsWLVqZ28Zem80XymvJuOqQWRYSRY-Oyn83dJtb1CWIyabiWBCOi4DjsU1&_hsmi=406315304 ) in your console and paste your public SSH key. Required for SSH access. If you prefer Jupyter, download the TLS certificate from the same page.

Step 3 — Add credit

Go to Billing (https://cloud.vast.ai/billing/?utm_source=hs_automation&utm_medium=email&utm_content=406315304&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8F75y3GTfuwTb6ZD8miKucrpgZrHsJRYVMJDbqna2v3VoVO5ewdYSZCY14knfgPEWFaXIr0_XypkIsWLVqZ28Zem80XymvJuOqQWRYSRY-Oyn83dJtb1CWIyabiWBCOi4DjsU1&_hsmi=406315304 ) to top up. We accept credit cards (Stripe), Coinbase, and Crypto.com. See vast.ai/pricing (https://vast.ai/pricing?utm_source=hs_automation&utm_medium=email&utm_content=406315304&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8F75y3GTfuwTb6ZD8miKucrpgZrHsJRYVMJDbqna2v3VoVO5ewdYSZCY14knfgPEWFaXIr0_XypkIsWLVqZ28Zem80XymvJuOqQWRYSRY-Oyn83dJtb1CWIyabiWBCOi4DjsU1&_hsmi=406315304 ) for current market rates to help you decide how much to load.
