Many thanks for posting about vast.ai, which I had never heard of! It's a sort of "gig economy/marketplace" for GPU's. The first machine I tried just now worked fine, had 512GB of RAM, 256 AMC CPUs, an A100 GPU, and I got about 4 minutes for $0.05 (which they provided for free).

The only caveat is it is not really appropriate for private usecases.

Also, many of the available options clearly are recycled crypto mining rigs which have somewhat odd configurations (poor gpu bandwidth, low cpu ram).
