Free tier	A free assistant for Axelera's Voyager SDK, gated by a free community account: 'Access is simple, and free. Registering here on the Axelera community sets you up with a Voyager Wingman account' and 'create an account here on the Axelera community so you can get (free) access to Voyager Wingman and get started immediately with a EUR 25 token voucher'. The vendor states what it does not buy: 'running a pipeline on an Axelera device needs the Linux app on a machine with a card. Web chat will happily plan and write the pipeline, but the card work happens on Linux.' unit tokens; metered on wall-clock; one-off-credit
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not stated
Identity	email a free community account: 'Registering here on the Axelera community sets you up with a Voyager Wingman account', and the community front page calls it 'completely free with a community account (which is also free)'. The registration form's fields are not described in any evidence row, so whether an email, phone number or ID document is required is unknown, and no card, hold or payment method is mentioned: unknown.
Binding	none EUR 25 of tokens is the whole allowance and no device is attached, so nothing about throughput binds before the voucher is spent.
Interface	unknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	It composes with nothing on the compute side. The only hardware Axelera ships to an individual is a competition kit: ten selected builders receive a Dell Pro Slim Plus XE5 with a Metis PCIe AIPU, which is a loan of physical hardware the client would have to house.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The EUR 25 is denominated in assistant tokens, not accelerator-hours, and the announcement does not state an expiry, so expiry is null. The capacity that matters, Metis silicon, needs a purchased card, which is outside a user's premise. Recorded because the SDK, model zoo and assistant are free and the wall is the card.
