Vast.ai is a leading marketplace for affordable GPU rentals, providing on-demand and interruptible instances for AI/ML, rendering, and compute-heavy tasks.

How do I transfer data between my local machine and a Vast.ai instance?

The skill supports the 'vastai copy' command for direct transfers and 'vastai cloud copy' for moving data between instances and cloud providers like S3 or Google Cloud Storage.

How do I add an SSH key to my Vast.ai account using this skill?

You can use the 'vastai create ssh-key' command followed by your public RSA key string to authorize secure access to any instances you create.

Can I save money on long-running training jobs?

Yes, this skill provides documentation on Reserved Instances, which allow you to prepay for usage to receive discounts of up to 40% compared to on-demand rates.
