The middle price of the machines Vast lists for the card that Friday, per GPU. A machine listed several times, as 1, 2, 4 or 8-GPU slices, counts once, at its lowest ask; earlier weeks counted each listing. Offers hosts are asking, not list prices — no rate card is ever in this number. Method as of 6 October 2026.
