December product updates

- Team Vast

December 27, 2023-Update

As the year comes to a close, we're back one more time with the latest updates here at Vast.ai! At the moment, we're primarily working on a few major features that will be unveiled in due course – but for now, we're pleased to announce the smaller ongoing product updates that continue to make our GPU rental platform better and better over time.

First up are bug fixes. We're proud of our team's response time in getting every hiccup dealt with as quickly as possible, which ensures we're able to deliver a seamless experience for our valued customers. The following are some of our latest fixes:

  • Fixed internet speedtest script for Ubuntu 23+
  • All Coinbase payments now display a link to the transaction
  • Fixed issues with Google Drive token expiration
  • Cuda version detection is now fixed for TensorFlow
  • Fixed some de-verification issues
  • Template editors now accept > and <
  • Fixed issues with Dropbox connections

NVIDIA Cloud GPU Updates

As mentioned, more changes are on the way! But in the past few weeks, we've implemented some enhancements to our platform that should make Vast even more user-friendly and intuitive for both current and new customers. Here are a few highlights of the latest updates:

  • Added RTX 5000 Ada to search page
  • Updated CLI documentation - https://vast.ai/docs/cli/commands
  • Updated the displayed text for Docker image in the template editor
  • Discount factor now visible for reserved instance discounts
  • Added machine OS version filter to CLI/API
  • Updated recommended templates to use AI Dock's ComfyUI template

Plus, we've updated our Terms of Service to reflect that credits purchased via credit card cannot be used for cryptocurrency mining. The refund policy has also been clarified. And as usual, you can find the full change log for our December 2023 product updates below for your convenience.

We're proud to be the market leader in low-cost, on-demand cloud GPU rental.
