April 15, 2023-Vast

Ongoing product updates are an important part of what we offer at Vast.ai. Our customers get excellent performance and reliability in large part because of the consistency with which we work to improve our service. As a Vast.ai customer, you can not only expect to get outstanding NVIDIA GPU cloud performance on day one, but you can expect that experience to continue to improve over time.

The starting point for every product update is to address any bugs that have popped up along the way. Our latest update is no different, including the fixes listed below --

  • Ensuring all instances show on instance page
  • Correct port allocation that caused instances to fail to start
  • Improve disk speed test rates
  • Solve error on 4090s causing NVLINK to show erroneously
  • Fix billing page error that showed ratelimit error
  • Disable extra filters with the show incompatible filter

If you are an existing user, you will notice that these fixes streamline your experience and make the product more enjoyable to use day after day. For potential new customers, you can rest assured that these fixes were made promptly and the save level of service will be delivered on future corrections that need to be made.

  • Updated the mobile UX to improve info bar issues
  • GUI filter settings now persist
  • Hosts receive email notifications of expired machines
