Owned Vast.ai Python SDK Lifecycles

Overview

Use the highest-level client that preserves the required control. Keep resource identity and cleanup ownership explicit, normalize provider response variants at one boundary, and never hide a billable instance behind an unbounded retry.

Prerequisites

• Chosen high-level, synchronous, asynchronous, or Serverless client surface
• Typed internal model for offers, instances, terminal states, and provider errors
• Idempotency, timeout, test-double, and cleanup design

Instructions

Step 1: Select one client boundary

Use VastAI for broad CLI-equivalent operations, SyncClient for typed synchronous instance control, AsyncClient inside an async context, or Serverless for endpoint inference.

Step 2: Normalize responses once
