Clearing Basis
CCIR's headline reference rate is built from posted list-asks — every panel source posts a rate card. One venue is different: Vast.ai is a live, continuously-repriced, executable marketplace. Vast is tracked separately so the list-ask series stays clean, 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 | $7.13 bid · clearing floor | +19.1% | -11.2% | 2/3 |
| H200 | $3.71 | $3.55 bid · clearing floor | -4.1% | +8.3% | 2/4 |
| H100 | $2.79 | $1.24 bid · clearing floor | -55.6% | -57.1% | 2/10 |
| A100 | $1.44 | $0.59 bid · clearing floor | -58.8% | -66.6% | 2/6 |
As of 2026-07-18 · 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. A single-venue market-intelligence signal.
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 market-intelligence signal.
