01
Connect the fleet
The desk needs a Vast API key with host permissions that you can revoke. We read machines, occupancy, earnings, and listing state so we can operate the offer. You keep the payout account.
Operating sequence
Connect the fleet. Then operate.
Fillrate is a managed ops desk for GPU hosts. Operators follow a playbook: connect the listing, then run ask, occupancy, and reliability. Built first for Vast.ai hosts. You keep the hardware and the payout account. The rate card is a flat desk fee.
The playbook
Same sequence on every fleet we take. No invented occupancy charts. No promised $/hr.
02
Run the ask and the interruptible floor
You set the interruptible floor (often near power). We keep the on-demand ask moving with the market and never price below your floor. Prices move when utilization and queue say they should. We reprice without kicking live jobs. We do not extend listing ends without your approval.
03
Protect reliability
Maintenance windows instead of surprise unlists. Verification chase when a node is dragging. Alerts when a machine drops off the marketplace. Optional remote bare-metal add-on when you grant host access: drivers/CUDA, disk, OS hygiene. Remote only. No onsite. No truck rolls.
04
Review occupancy and reliability
Periodic digests and reviews of occupancy, reliability, and pricing moves — not a hoped-for chart. Desk fee and optional bare-metal are the published rate card — see Pricing. This page does not invent before/afters.
What you see in the Console
After you log in and add a Vast key, this board is your fleet. The card here uses example machines and example dollars — not a client, and not a result we promise.
- PlanThe published desk fee: $10 per managed machine per month, plus optional bare-metal at the same rate. Not a cut of Vast earnings.
- SettingsFloors you set. On-demand price floor and interruptible min bid, upload and storage, and the volume offer. The desk does not price below them.
- MachinesRented or vacant, whether the row is Managed, and bare-metal status: Enabled, Disabled, or Needs setup. Ops only act on Managed machines.
- EarningsToday, month to date, and year to date, plus daily earnings for 7, 30, 90, or 365 days. On this page those figures are examples, not measured earnings.
That is the same sequence as the playbook: connect the fleet, run the ask and the floor, then review occupancy and reliability. Your machines replace lab-a, lab-b, and lab-c after the key is saved.
Managed is the switch
lab-b stays on the board while it is not managed. Occupancy is still visible. Desk ops skip that machine until you mark it Managed.
Bare metal is per machine
Enabled means the add-on is on and a host key is on file. Disabled sits with Not managed. Needs setup means the add-on is on and the host key is still missing. You set that later from the machine row.
The chart is an example
30 days is the default range. 7, 90, and 365 redraw the same example series. Nothing in the card is a measured day from a real fleet.
What the desk watches
Listed machines, as they actually run — not a hoped-for chart.
- OccupancyHow much of the listed capacity actually rented, not how it was priced on paper.
- Ask and floorOn-demand ask + your interruptible floor. Prices move with utilization.
- ReliabilityMarketplace reliability score and drops that took a node offline.
- FillTime-to-fill after a vacancy, and whether unverified status was dragging the offer.
Access and payout
The desk runs on an API key you can revoke. Renter payouts stay on your account. Fillrate bills separately.
- PayoutPayouts stay on whatever Vast pays you through — Stripe, Wise, or PayPal. That account is yours and is separate from how Fillrate bills you. We do not take the password.
- DeskAPI key with host permissions. Enough to watch offers, price, and reliability.
- HostRemote host access only if you add the bare-metal work. Agreed maintenance, not unsolicited root.
- MarketVast.ai is the marketplace this desk runs. If a fleet is not listed yet, say so at intake.
How we reprice
Comps and occupancy, not a fixed $/hr. Live jobs stay live.
- CompsAsk prices are set against aggregated, de-identified market data across the fleets we run. Never another host's individual numbers, and never yours to anyone else.
- AskOn-demand ask tracks the cohort for that GPU mix and listing quality.
- FloorYou set the interruptible floor (often near power). We never price below it, so idle hours still have a bid.
- JobsWe do not shorten or cancel a live rental to chase a better price.
- EndsWe do not extend listing ends without your approval.
Reliability and host work
Keep the node on the market. Bare-metal is optional and remote.
- WindowsMaintenance is scheduled. We do not unlist mid-contract to chase a better ask.
- ChaseVerification and listing hygiene when a node is dragging or flagged.
- AlertsWhen a machine drops off the marketplace, the desk is watching for it.
- Add-onIf you grant host access: drivers/CUDA, disk, OS hygiene. Remote only. No onsite. No truck rolls.
Ongoing, and how we get paid
Periodic digests and reviews of occupancy and reliability. The rate card is already published.

FAQ
Do you kick live jobs to chase a better ask?
No. We reprice around live rentals. We do not shorten or cancel a job to chase a better price.
Do you extend listing ends on your own?
No. If listing ends are in play, we do not extend them without your approval.
Do I keep my Vast payout account?
Yes. A Vast API key for the desk. Payouts stay on whatever Vast pays you through — Stripe, Wise, or PayPal. That account is yours and is separate from how Fillrate bills you.
Is remote bare-metal required?
No. The marketplace desk runs on a Vast API key. Host access is only required if you add the remote maintenance work — drivers/CUDA, disk, OS hygiene. No onsite. No truck rolls.
Which marketplaces do you run?
The desk is built first for Vast.ai hosts — that is the marketplace we operate today. If a fleet is listed elsewhere or not listed yet, say so at intake. We do not run other marketplaces yet.
How are you paid?
A flat per-machine desk fee, plus an optional remote bare-metal add-on. See Pricing. We do not have public before/afters yet, so this page does not invent them.
Send the fleet. We will say if it fits.
A review is not a charge. If Fillrate cannot beat set-and-forget on that hardware, we will say so.
