We're back with another monthly update for our customers old and new! As we continue to redefine norms in cloud GPU rental, we're committed to continuously refining our platform.

This month, we've revamped the billing page! We also fixed an issue with earnings payouts showing incorrectly and added some clarity and warnings about auto-billing to the new billing page.

Plus, we've expanded our list of GPU types to include the H100 NVL. Designed exclusively for large language model (LLM) deployment, the NVIDIA H100 NVL is a powerhouse for high-performance computing. It's our hope that hosts and renters alike can benefit from this new addition that broadens the options on Vast.

No service is immune to hiccups, but we prioritize swift action to tackle any bugs that arise – so you can depend on a seamless customer experience. Here are some of the latest bug fixes we've implemented since our last update:

  • Fixed PDF export issues
  • Recommended templates now show properly
  • Improved error notifications
  • Fixed SSH validation issues
  • Fixed machine earnings discrepancy for hosts
  • Hosts now receive correct portion of early termination penalty for reserved instances

Cloud GPU Rental Platform Updates

Here at Vast.ai, our platform updates go beyond just routine maintenance. As mentioned, we have a new billing page and added the H100 NVL as a new GPU type – and the following are a few more updates from this month:

  • New auth flow and consistent visuals
  • New CLI launch_instance combines search/create command
  • Autoscaler/serverless docs have been updated
  • Slight fixes to threshold and newsletter
