Compare startups
Pick two or three companies from the roster to see them side by side. The link in your address bar keeps the comparison, so you can send it to someone.

| What they do | Runs your services, databases and GPU jobs on their cloud or inside yours. | GPU clusters plus reinforcement-learning tools to train a model on your own work. | A marketplace for renting other people’s spare GPUs by the hour. |

| Why we track it | The place an AI agent's code actually runs — microVM isolation, GPUs and your own VPC — which is where the agent-sandbox question stops being a model question and becomes an infrastructure one. | They are building the part of the stack most people cannot see — where a model is trained, given an environment to act in, and graded — and they publish the engineering behind it in the open, which makes them a primary source for us whether or not the relationship goes anywhere. | Vast is the GPU spot-price layer MenFem's /data product reads — the hourly floor for a rented GPU-hour, which is the denominator under the task-price series we publish. |

The practice starts by doing the work: what we find goes to you first, and a free weekend on one named problem can follow.
