Free tier	The page still advertises '$5,000 - $50,000 in grants for open source projects, no strings attached' and 'Grants can come in the form of compute or cash', with the compute link pointing to andromeda.ai. The programme is described as funding builders of specific open-source artifacts. The listed awards are three in the 'Latest grants' block: abetlen for llama-cpp-python, philpax for the GGUF file format, and TySam for hlb-CIFAR10. unit none; metered on wall-clock; none

Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	A REFUTATION of the best-known name in this class, and the reason it matters is that AI Grant is the programme a search for 'no strings attached grant for open source AI' surfaces first. Three separate facts make the verdict safe: no application route exists in the served HTML, the page is byte-identical to its May 2025 capture, and the three latest awards are 2023-era projects. it is a page that stopped moving, which is the quietest way for a programme to end. What would reverse the verdict: an apply link appearing, or a new entry in the latest-grants list.
