I made a python package for interface with https://vast.ai to quickly and briefly rent powerful shell servers. `pip3 install libvastai` may function, not certain. I don't know if my local version has import fixes. I've used it to create 3 instances with code like: import vast, logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) instance = vast.Instance(GiB = 128) instance.create() instance.wait() the prices range from 9 to 13 cents an hour. if the build is slow, this may be expensive. the plan is to just use whichever one finishes setting itself up first, and destroy the others.
