Clearing Basis
The CCIR reference rate is a list-ask benchmark — every panel source posts a rate card. One venue is different: Vast.ai is a live, continuously-repriced, executable marketplace. It is pulled out of the benchmark so the index stays a clean list-ask, and re-surfaced here as a basis: how the live marketplace price sits relative to the ex-Vast list-ask floor at matched tier (Tier 3). Positive = the live venue is pricing above posted list-asks; negative = below.
| Chip | List-ask floor | Vast | Basis · 7d | Basis · 1d | n (vast/list) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B200 | $5.98 | $3.84 on-demand · live ask | -35.8% | — | 2/1 |
| H200 | $3.71 | $3.30 on-demand · live ask | -11.0% | — | 2/2 |
| H100 | $2.90 | $2.17 on-demand · live ask | -25.3% | — | 2/6 |
| A100 | $1.44 | $0.77 on-demand · live ask | -46.2% | — | 2/4 |
As of 2026-06-24 · 7-day window · operator-equal medians, matched tier (Tier 3). Input is the bid clearing floor where Vast exposes one, otherwise the on-demand live ask (flagged per row). Single-venue signal — Vast only; it is the lone executable marketplace in the panel, not the whole market. Not a CCIR reference rate. v2.0.0.
Implied market utilization — Vast marketplace
The same venue's listings disclose how much of each machine is currently rentable — enough to reconstruct occupancy machine by machine, snapshot by snapshot. Both lines read the same direction — higher means tighter. Capacity (solid): share of listed GPU capacity not currently rentable. Whole nodes (dashed): share of machines without a rentable 8-GPU block. The panel-wide availability view is a separate product — see Availability; the two are never blended.
Four snapshots daily. A machine with zero rentable chunks may be fully rented or host-paused — the public feed cannot distinguish them, so the utilization read is IMPLIED: share of listed capacity not currently rentable. Denominator is listed capacity only. History begins 2026-05-13. Single-venue signal — not a CCIR reference rate.
