Crusoe
Infrastructure service
GPU cloud running on Crusoe's own energy-colocated data centres, rented by the hour.
Crusoe Cloud GPU capacity delivered at edge and sovereign locations via prefabricated Crusoe Spark modular units.
Vast.ai
Infrastructure service
Dedicated GPU and CPU clusters for frequent AI, ML and HPC training runs, scaled from tens to hundreds of GPUs, with custom networking and storage, utilisation and cost dashboards, enterprise SLAs and specialist support, arranged through sales.
Marketplace for renting GPUs (RTX 3060 to B200 across 68+ types) with on-demand, interruptible and reserved terms billed per second, driven from a web console, API, CLI or Python SDK.
Autoscaling GPU endpoints for AI inference on the Vast.ai fleet: workers are provisioned from load predictions, with a reserve pool for fast cold starts, defined from the Python SDK, CLI or API and billed per second at the platform's GPU rates.
No counterpart
Crusoe sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Vast.ai yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
Hosted endpoints serving open-weight and customer-supplied models on Crusoe's own hardware, billed per token or as dedicated hourly deployments.
Managed LoRA-based fine-tuning of open-weight models, billed per token of training data rather than per GPU-hour.
Developer tool
Unified operations and observability console for GPU fleets running AI workloads on Crusoe Cloud.
Hardware
Prefabricated modular AI data centre integrating power, cooling, fire suppression and GPU racks for deployment at a customer site.
