# Vast.ai GPU Management
Manage vast.ai GPU instance: $ARGUMENTS
## Overview
Rent cheap, capable GPUs from vast.ai on demand. This skill **analyzes the training task** to determine GPU requirements, searches for the best-value offers, presents options with estimated total cost, and handles the full lifecycle: rent → setup → run → destroy.
Users do NOT specify GPU models or hardware. They describe the task — the skill figures out what to rent.
**Prerequisites:** The `vastai` CLI must be installed (requires **Python ≥ 3.10**) and authenticated:
```bash
pip install vastai
vastai set api-key YOUR_API_KEY
