We exist to make sure that power stays distributed.The Idea That Started EverythingIn 2010, Jake Cannell — ML engineer, GPU programmer, and compulsive theorist — began publishing essays on LessWrong arguing an unconventional thesis: intelligence is fundamentally a function of compute. Not clever algorithms. Not hand-engineered modules. Compute. His 2015 essay The Brain as a Universal Learning Machine laid out the complete framework — predicting AlphaGo two years before it happened and forecasting human-level vision and language via scaled deep learning within a window that would prove accurate.Christian Horne — a fellow thinker and builder who also published on LessWrong — shared Jake's view that the compute scaling thesis had profound implications, not just for AI development, but for who would control it. Both saw the same thing: if whoever controlled the most compute controlled the most powerful AI, then the future of artificial general intelligence would be determined by who had the deepest pockets, not who had the best ideas.On June 28, 2016, they incorporated Vast.ai. The founding thesis fit on a napkin: the world was full of underutilized GPU hardware — in gaming rigs, mining farms, research labs, and small data centers — and the people who needed that compute most couldn't afford the hyperscaler rates. But the motivation was never purely commercial. A world where compute flows freely to thousands of independent researchers is a fundamentally different world than one where it is locked behind the pricing walls of a few incumbents.Jake CannellCEO & Co-founderWatch the founder's story“A world where compute flows freely to thousands of independent researchers is a fundamentally different world than one where it is locked behind the pricing walls of AWS, GCP, and Azure.”Timeline of a ThesisWhat Jake predicted. What the team built. How the field caught up.Thesis Validated2010–2014The scaling thesis takes shapeJake Cannell publishes a series of essays on LessWrong arguing that intelligence is fundamentally a function of compute — not clever algorithms or hand-engineered modules. Christian Horne (lahwran), a fellow LessWrong contributor, shares the same conviction. The two become collaborators.Thesis Validated2012AlexNet validates the hypothesisAlexNet breaks ImageNet benchmarks by scaling a known neural network architecture on GPUs — exactly as the scaling hypothesis predicted. The deep learning revolution begins.Thesis ValidatedJune 2015The Brain as a Universal Learning MachineJake publishes his landmark essay arguing that the human brain is a single, general-purpose learning algorithm — not a zoo of specialized circuits. He predicts AlphaGo two years before it happens and forecasts human-level vision (~2024±3) and language via scaled deep learning.June 28, 2016Vast.ai incorporatedJake Cannell and Christian Horne incorporate Vast.ai as a Delaware C Corporation. The founding thesis: the world is full of underutilized GPU hardware, and the people who need that compute most can’t afford hyperscaler rates. The market needs a two-sided platform.2016–2017Building in the darkFor two years, Jake and Christian build the marketplace platform end-to-end: host onboarding, search interface, pricing engine, Docker-based instance management — engineered to work across heterogeneous hardware and wildly different network conditions.September 2018Launch dayVast.ai launches — not with a press release, but the way honest products launch: to friends, family, and a post on Hacker News. GPU compute 3–5x cheaper than AWS, available in seconds, no enterprise contract required.2019First hosts, first tractionEarly independent hosts join the platform. The marketplace concept is validated — developers get cheaper GPUs, hosts monetize idle hardware. Growth begins compounding rapidly.Thesis Validated2021The predictions landCLIP and GPT-3 arrive at roughly the vision and language capability levels Jake predicted in 2015.

Vast.ai achieves SOC 2 Type I certification. The infrastructure that makes AI open is now an institution.Why It MattersJake's model of AI risk is not the Hollywood version. He doesn't lose sleep over a rogue superintelligence suddenly seizing control. His concern is subtler and, in many ways, more tractable: that the empirical process by which alignment gets solved — many labs, many approaches, competitive pressure producing diversity — breaks down because compute becomes too expensive or too centralized for anyone outside a handful of incumbents to participate.The cure for that risk is access. When GPUs became accessible to graduate students and small labs — not just Google and Bell Labs — the field exploded. The researchers who will find the alignment approaches that actually work, the architectures that generalize correctly, the training paradigms that produce safe and capable systems — many of them don't work at the big labs. They work at universities, at startups, at independent research organizations, at companies you haven't heard of yet. They need compute. Vast.ai exists to make sure they can get it.Our VisionTo make life substrate-independent through Vast Artificial Intelligence.Our MissionTo organize, optimize, and orient the world's computation.The TeamJake CannellCEO & Co-founderVisit Jake Cannell's LinkedIn profileTravis CannellCOOVisit Travis Cannell's LinkedIn profileScott DardenDirector of EngineeringAida BadveAllison CorleyAnthony BenjaminEdgar LinGuthrie LonerganSenior Product ManagerJC ParkLiam WeldonLindsey LongerettaTalent Acquisition LeadMarco HernandezRyan BarrySammy JavidDangerous workloads.

GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION Users of the Website Generally “Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators, Company gathers from users of the Website Non-Personally- Identifying Information of the sort that Web br/owsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, br/owser type and the locations of the websites the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving the Website. Although such information is not Personally-Identifying Information, it may be possible for Company to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data. Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website to help Company better understand how the Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Company is able to better design the Website to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, Company may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.
