Frequently asked questions
vast.ai's cheapest listings are $0.15/hour (~₹13). Real world: those hosts often have <100 Mbps network, unverified specs, high crash rate mid-training. To get reliable vast.ai, you filter to 'verified' + 'reliable' hosts — pricing jumps to $0.30-0.50/hour (~₹27-45). At that point AIC's ₹45/hour flat is comparable, with the added benefits of pre-verified quality, WhatsApp support, and GST invoice. Also: hunting good vast.ai listings takes time.
