About Vast.ai

Vast.ai is a marketplace for renting GPU instances from hosted machines, used for workloads like model training and inference. Its referral program pays a share of everything a referred client account spends for the lifetime of that account, credited internally and partly withdrawable as cash via Stripe Connect, PayPal, or Wise.

Best for: Publishers of GitHub repos, videos, and tutorials can share public template referral links that pre-load a Docker image, launch mode, startup script, and environment variables so readers click straight into a configured instance.

Payout mechanics

Cash payouts require a dedicated referral account: an account that has ever rented instances or hosted machines cannot cash out until referral earnings exceed its lifetime instance spend. Referral links come from console Settings, and template links come from each template card menu.

Promotion rules from the vendor

You cannot refer yourself or any account connected to you; those referrals earn nothing. Large-scale collaborations are handled by contacting support directly.

Decision notes

What affiliates should verify before promoting Vast.ai

Confirm the commission basis, eligible plans, cookie attribution rules, payout timing, refund reversals, paid-ad restrictions, trademark rules, and regional eligibility directly with Vast.ai. A high percentage can still be a mediocre offer when the plan price, conversion rate, or retention is poor. Numbers remain stubbornly contextual.
