Cerebras Free Tier

Ultra-fast OpenAI-compatible inference (up to ~2,000 tokens/s) with a free tier of roughly 1M tokens/day per model (e.g. Llama 3.3 70B); no credit card required.

Cerebras runs open LLMs on wafer-scale chips with very high throughput via an OpenAI-compatible API (base https://api.cerebras.ai/v1). The free tier provides roughly 1M tokens/day per model with per-model RPM/TPM/TPD limits (values per the official rate-limits doc); hitting a limit returns 429. No credit card is required; the paid Developer tier offers about 10x higher limits.
