cool to see!

Definitely coming soon!

Will fix.

These links should work now, at least they do for me. We use a third party service called Termly for these, I think there was an issue with the url (missing the www).

While most people think it's cool and some think it's scary, drone delivery is ultimately something that people (that is: companies with money) don't need.

Turns out, using drones to deliver is also not that competitive either. Delivery vans are very cost-efficient, and for food delivery / on-demand delivery, drones are not able to carry most orders. So it's not even the regulatory pains that make this difficult, which are unbearable in their own right.

It was a lot of fun to work on and we would have definitely stuck with it if there was any interest. There was none, so we had to admit that to ourselves.

This is a hard pivot, but it's been very stimulating to work on.

Exactly, that's the idea

Just launched but will put a panel on the landing page for that, once the data comes in.

Definitely, but we will sort out machines that are unreliable quite quickly.

Main difference is that we are more opinionated (in terms of configurations) and sort of do the scrolling and sorting out for you – hopefully a bit smoother as a user experience. We sort out bad machines immediately. We're also directly working on making compute from unknown high-end data centers available, there's a lot of unused compute out there! See gpulist.ai

Also, don't know if vast.ai does this, but with us you can have 6 user sessions on your machine if you have six GPUs, so granular utilization is possible.

Thanks for the input, you're right, maybe a fixed price is better. The idea currently is that the quoted price is an upper limit on the rate you pay and the final rate depends on what the GPU provider inputs, which will normally result in a lower rate than the upper bound. At the moment we have upper bounds if you want to be included in on-demand input, and also depending on the service you provide (security, network etc.). We determine pricing with partners 1-on-1 a the moment.

Yes, great use-case.

Windows support is definitely something we are thinking about.
