March 3, 2024-Vast

It's time for another product update! Here at Vast.ai, we strive to keep improving our product for the benefit of new and old customers alike, so we can continue to serve as your reliable gateway to affordable and powerful cloud GPU resources.

One of our big updates this month is that we've added beta hosting support for AMD GPUs! For AMD-specific directions, please see our updated hosting guide. If you have Radeon or Radeon Instinct GPUs, you can now run our Daemon software. (Please reach out via the chatbox at the bottom right if you experience any issues while setting up AMD GPUs.)

As always, we address bugs as soon as we're aware of them, in order to maintain the highest standards of performance and reliability on Vast. The following are some of our latest bug fixes:

  • SHA256 Docker images now work
  • Search results by geolocation issue fixed
  • Fixed the VRAM cost-per-hour filter and sort setting in GUI
  • Instance duration bug fixed so 3-day default is now accurate
  • Fixed issue where logging in with OAuth + 2FA fails
  • Issue with copy progress bar being lost on page refresh now fixed
