This comprehensive workflow guides users through the end-to-end process of utilizing cloud-based GPU computing resources on Vast.ai. It covers searching for ideal GPU offers based on specs and price, provisioning an instance, running complex training or inference jobs via SSH, collecting model artifacts, and crucially, destroying the instance to prevent unexpected billing. Ideal for deep learning training and research.

This comprehensive script suite provides methods to optimize GPU cloud computing expenses on Vast.ai. It guides users through selecting the most cost-efficient GPU for their workload, leveraging interruptible (spot) instances, and implementing critical lifecycle management safeguards. Features include detecting idle compute resources, auto-destroy timers, and calculating total cost burn rates, ensuring AI model training and inference jobs stay within budget.

A comprehensive guide to managing training data and model artifacts securely on cloud GPU instances (e.g., Vast.ai). It covers best practices for data transfer (SCP, compressed, cloud staging), implementing AES-256 encryption, managing checkpoints to S3, and performing secure cleanup before instance destruction, ensuring compliance and data integrity.

A comprehensive guide for deploying Machine Learning training jobs and inference services on the Vast.ai GPU cloud. This skill covers the entire deployment lifecycle, including optimizing Docker images for performance, creating automated provisioning scripts using the Vast.ai CLI, implementing robust data transfer strategies (SCP, rsync), and performing post-deployment health checks.

A comprehensive guide demonstrating the full lifecycle of GPU resource utilization on Vast.ai. This includes searching for available hardware using CLI and REST APIs, provisioning a dedicated GPU instance (e.g., using PyTorch images), connecting via SSH, running deep learning workloads, and finally, securely destroying the instance to stop billing. Ideal for testing cloud integration or managing ML compute pipelines.

A comprehensive checklist for deploying large-scale, production-ready GPU workloads on Vast.ai. It covers critical lifecycle stages including account authentication, instance validation, data encryption, persistent checkpointing strategies, fault tolerance for spot instances, robust monitoring (utilization & cost), and strict cost controls, ensuring reliable and stable ML/AI deployments.

This guide details the production-grade reference architecture for running complex GPU compute workflows on Vast.ai. It covers the foundational three-tier pattern—Orchestrator, GPU Workers, and Artifact Storage—providing blueprints for job queue management, fault-tolerant training pipelines, and robust checkpointing. Use this when designing scalable and reliable ML/AI training systems.

This skill automates the end-to-end workflow for deploying and executing ML training and inference experiments. It intelligently detects the target environment (Local GPU, Remote SSH, Vast.ai, Modal serverless) and handles necessary steps like GPU pre-checks, code synchronization (rsync/git), integrating ML tracking tools (W&B), and launching the compute job via screen sessions or serverless deployment. Use when initiating a complex training job.

A comprehensive skill for managing, provisioning, and destroying GPU instances on vast.ai. It analyzes your deep learning task to determine precise hardware requirements (VRAM, GPU count, storage) and searches for cost-optimized, high-reliability GPU offers. The skill handles the entire lifecycle from initial analysis to experiment monitoring, ensuring you only rent what you need at the best possible value.
