| Free tier | 50 GPU hours a month, free, every month, on a dedicated 24GB VRAM slice of an RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell; the allowance is wall-clock metered while the slice is provisioned, renews monthly and does not carry over. Marked 'Coming Soon'. unit gpu-hours; metered on wall-clock; Not open yet: the page reads 'Coming Soon' and carries a waitlist, and the Run sign-up page says sign-up is not available yet. A month is 730 hours, so the allowance is 50 of them. |

Free slices are preemptible with no SLA, and a slice that sits idle is warned and then reclaimed. One account per person; free hours do not stack or carry over between months. |

| Binding | volume-quota The 50-hour monthly allowance is what runs out first: it is 50 of the 730 hours in a month, and past it the meter runs at EUR 0.49 a GPU hour. |
|---|
| Identity | card The Run sign-up form asks for first name, last name, email and password; the free tier requires a EUR 0 card check or a 1-cent iDEAL verification from a non-disposable card, with no charge and no subscription. The general Leafcloud cloud signup is a separate flow that asks a EUR 2 downpayment and a EUR 200 GPU deposit, and the free-tier page does not say whether the free tier inherits it. |
|---|
| Egress | Not stated for the free tier: the page publishes no egress allowance and no egress price, so nothing is known to be charged per gigabyte and nothing is promised free. |
|---|
| Retention | Persistent storage is included with the server; a free slice that sits idle is warned and then reclaimed, and free slices are preemptible. |
|---|
| Interface | ssh SSH with root and Docker on a dedicated GPU slice; no console, API or CLI is documented for the free tier. |

| Tooling | an SSH client and Docker; the one-click images ship Open WebUI + Ollama, vLLM and JupyterLab + PyTorch. |

| Composes with | 50 hours a month on a 24GB Blackwell slice is a fine-tuning and inference bench; because a free slice is preemptible and reclaimed when idle, a job that must survive reclamation needs its checkpoints written to a separate object-storage record. |
|---|
| Reliability | Free slices are preemptible with no SLA and an idle slice is warned then reclaimed; the vendor states it may end the freemium model at any time, and the tier is marked 'Coming Soon' with sign-up not yet available. |
|---|
| Notes | The free tier is announced but not open: the page reads 'Coming Soon' and the Run sign-up page says 'Sign up is not available yet. Log in if you already have an account.' The paid alternative on the same infrastructure is the RTX 6000 Blackwell 1x flavor at EUR 1452.7 a month. The general cloud's own GPU gate is a EUR 200 deposit with 48 hours of free use, a separate offer from this monthly allowance. |

| Evidence note | documented The quota, the 24GB slice, the overage price, the card check and the preemption terms are quoted from the vendor's free-tier page read on 2026-11-06; the 'Coming Soon' state is on the same page and the disabled sign-up is in the Run sign-up page's own text. |
