Composes with	None without a first payment. USD 0.015/h is the cheapest per-hour GPU figure found in this class, so it is the right target once any budget exists.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Salad's USD 0.015/h is the lowest headline GPU rate in the whole class and it is a genuine consumer-GPU network, but the free door is closed. The SSAP grant (USD 5k-10k) is recorded here as a fails-identity door inside a paid-only record: it needs a company, not a person.
