# Vast.ai GPU Cost and Leakage Control
## Overview
Optimize total useful-work cost, not headline GPU price. Account for performance, reliability, storage, bandwidth, loading behavior, stopped-instance charges, interruptible semantics, and recovery overhead.
## Prerequisites
- GPU/VRAM, throughput, reliability, geography, disk, and completion-time requirements
- Hourly and total budget plus checkpoint/restart cost assumptions
- Instance, volume, charge, and invoice inventory for the analysis window
## Instructions
