vast-experiment-ops skillA
vast-experiment-ops is agent-read markdown (skill) from lu1sdv/skillsmd: Use when running or reporting ML experiments on rented Vast.ai GPU instances — diagnosing strict FP32 equivalence checks that pass on CPU but fail on CUDA (cuDNN TF32), parsing JSON metrics collected over SSH, and keeping held-out/test-scope reporting accurate..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# vast-experiment-ops Error-informed operational playbook for renting, running, and reporting ML experiments on Vast.ai. It supplements the platform docs and the instance's own guide; it replaces neither. ## Quick reference | Situation | Action | |---|---| | Strict FP32 equivalence passes on CPU, fails on CUDA | Re-run the unchanged check in a fresh process with `NVIDIA_TF32_OVERRIDE=0` set before Python starts | | `JSONDecodeError` parsing remote metrics | Capture stdout/stderr separately, parse stdout only; collector emits exactly one JSON document on stdout | | Asked whether the test split was used | Answer from this run's queue config and result metadata plus prior artifacts — never open test data to answer | | Reporting progress | Include UTC time, snapshot age, active trial/epoch, and complete/pruned/failed/running counts | | Sizing a job | Check cgroup CPU/RAM limits, free GPU memory, free disk, and storage persistence — host totals mislead | ## Ground rules - Get the instance address and experiment paths from the user or project config. Never reuse an address remembered from this skill. - Read the instance's own guide (e.g. `/etc/vast-agents-guide.md`) before …

How to install
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/vast-experiment-ops@git:20260919.01355afmdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/vast-experiment-ops@sha256:8166e7a0e1233159Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
