Machines

list machine

Creates or updates ask contracts for a machine to list it for rent on the vast.ai platform. Allows setting offer pricing, rental types, end dates, discount rates, and SLA parameters.

SLA request-body fields (sla_r_claim, sla_sigma_x, optional sla_max_beta) are supported on this REST endpoint. SLA activates when sla_r_claim > 0. Host-sent sla_r_target / legacy sla_reliability are ignored — clients choose coverage at search/rent time. The published CLI and SDK do not yet expose SLA fields — use the host console (Set Pricing → SLA) or REST/curl until CLI/SDK support ships.

CLI Usage (non-SLA fields): vastai list machine <machine_id> [options]

Body

machine

integer

required

ID of the machine to list

price_gpu

number<float>

Price per GPU per hour

price_disk

number<float>

Price per GB of disk storage

price_inetu

number<float>

Price per GB of upload bandwidth

price_inetd

number<float>

Price per GB of download bandwidth

price_min_bid

number<float>

Minimum bid price allowed

min_chunk

integer

default:1

Minimum number of GPUs that must be rented together

end_date

number<float>

Unix timestamp for when the listing expires

credit_discount_max

number<float>

Maximum discount rate allowed for prepaid credits

sla_r_claim

number<float>

Host reliability claim. Values above 0 enable SLA on the offer. Must be greater than 0 and at most 0.9999 when enabling SLA; exactly 1.0 is rejected. Set to 0 to disable SLA on new rentals.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 0.9999

sla_sigma_x

number<float>

Host confidence spread — how wide your belief is around the claim. Must be greater than 0 and at most 3.0. Defaults to 0.5 when enabling SLA.

sla_max_beta

number<float>

Optional ask term capping how aggressively long-running contracts may weight recent uptime versus longer history in settlement. Hosts do not set β — the platform derives β from the client's target_reliability at rent. Leave unset for uncapped. When set, must be in (0, 1) and at least the default beta derived at your claim.

sla_r_target

number<float>

Ignored on asks. Client coverage target is supplied at search/rent time (target_reliability), not set by the host.

sla_reliability

number<float>

Legacy alias for sla_r_target; ignored on asks.
