What Vast AI changed

• Removed the entire top navigation menu (Developers, Pricing, Products, Hosting, Use Cases, Company).
• Removed all "Get Started," "Contact Sales," and "Console" call-to-action buttons.
• Removed links to the Model Library and specific model deployment pages.
• Removed the footer containing product, developer, and legal links.
• Removed deep links to documentation for the CLI, Python SDK, and REST API.
• Removed case study links and social media icons.

The website has removed almost every functional link, including the main navigation, "Get Started" buttons, and documentation links. This could indicate a major site redesign in progress, a technical error, or a shift toward a gated, API-only access model.

• Removed the real-time pricing table featuring RTX 5090, 4090, 3090, H100, B200, and H200 GPUs.
• Removed a Python SDK code snippet demonstrating how to search and launch instances.
• Removed a hero video file link.
• Removed a cookie consent banner fragment.

The removal of specific GPU models (like RTX 5090 and H100) and their hourly rates from the main landing page makes it harder for users to compare costs at a glance. This may indicate high price volatility or a shift to drive users deeper into their console for data.

• RTX 4090 starting price dropped from $0.20/hr to $0.16/hr.
• RTX 3090 starting price dropped from $0.11/hr to $0.09/hr.
• RTX 5090 median price decreased from $0.60/hr to $0.57/hr.
• H100 SXM starting price decreased from $1.73/hr to $1.68/hr.
• B200 Blackwell median price decreased from $7.81/hr to $7.50/hr.

Vast.ai uses a supply-and-demand marketplace. These price drops for high-end cards like the RTX 4090 and 3090 suggest increased supply or lower market demand, making their entry-level pricing more aggressive.
