Up to $22.5K in Cerebras Cloud inference credits for AI startups, plus priority support.
You get up to $22,500 in credits to run inference on Cerebras's wafer-scale AI chips—useful if you're building LLM applications or need to stress-test models at scale. Credits are claimable on their cloud platform with dedicated support thrown in. The catch: this is inference-only, not training, so if you're doing heavy fine-tuning work, you'll need to look elsewhere. Co-marketing is on the table too, though that's optional. Best for early-stage AI teams already committed to exploring alternative compute providers beyond the usual hyperscalers.
