Vast.ai – marketplace for renting out your GPU, or...
I'm wondering why researchers would rather use this than pay AWS?
Is it significantly cheaper?

It's practically impossible now to get new GPU capacity on AWS, so AWS is not really a competitive option for labs that didn't have it before the recent restrictions. Vast.ai is much more usable.

Yes, it’s been a while since I used it but about half the price of an AWS spot instance.

Half price is a good deal
