30-day reliability depth
GPU Finder does not treat availability as a static yes/no flag. For A40, current stock badges are paired with a 30-day reliability score based on our hourly stock checks — the share of tracked time each listing was reported available. How we compute this →
- 12
- listings with a 30-day score

- 30d
- longest stock history on this page
Strongest reliability signals here: Shadeform (47%, 30d covered), Runpod (20%, 30d covered), Vast (0%, 13d covered).
Caveat: scores stay hidden until a listing has at least 48 tracked hours, and some provider APIs expose coarse capacity levels instead of exact stock counts. Use the score as historical depth beside current availability, not as a guarantee that a GPU will still be allocatable when you click through.

Cheapest trusted interruptible capacity is on Vast; 1 provider currently report spot or interruptible stock (1 units/signals visible).
Vast has kept spot or interruptible capacity in stock most reliably over the last 30 days (0%). See the availability section for the broader stock history.
There is a valid spot or interruptible row, but not enough trusted history to overstate the signal.
Good fit: checkpointed batch jobs, flexible training, and experiments that can restart. Avoid for production serving, deadline-bound runs, or jobs that cannot tolerate eviction.
Source caveat: Runpod exposes explicit spot fields; Vast is labeled interruptible/bid-floor. Lambda is treated as on-demand-only unless a verified spot field is added.
