Free tier	Quoted from the vendor announcement dated 2026-03-07: the student support plan targets full-time students worldwide, and after completing edu email or CHSI verification a new account receives a CNY 10 trial credit plus 100 hours of NVIDIA A10 or RTX 4090 GPU cloud host. The vendor prices that: single RTX 4090 at CNY 1.8 per hour and A10 at CNY 2.2, so the 100 free hours are worth about CNY 180 to 220. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; one-shot-credit

Identity	institution institution, in the form of student status: the grant needs an .edu email address or a CHSI verification code, or an uploaded student card, reviewed within 30 minutes, and the anti-abuse check is face recognition plus device fingerprint, so a face check is part of the gate. The second offer is narrower - an .edu.cn address specifically for a CNY 500 voucher. No card, hold, debit or prepaid statement appears in any evidence row: unknown.
Limits	volume-quota 100 GPU hours once rather than monthly, behind an .edu address or a CHSI enrollment record, so the largest GPU-hour grant found in this class is unreachable without enrollment and does not renew. source 100 GPU hours once rather than monthly, behind an .edu address or a CHSI enrollment record, so the largest GPU-hour grant found in this class is unreachable without enrollment and does not renew.

Composes with	100 hours of 4090 time is enough to fine-tune a 7B model and is the largest GPU-hour grant found in this class; the composition that would matter is a second one-shot grant from a different vendor, since these cannot stack with themselves.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The 300+ hour 4090 variant is recorded because it is the bigger number and strictly harder to reach, a Chinese academic address rather than any academic address. Both are one-shot, so neither becomes a recurring tier. Open question: whether either offer is live in October 2026. The vendor homepage now leads with unrelated video-generation products and carries no education section, so the March 2026 guide post is the only source and the offer may have quietly lapsed. What would settle it is a current claim page on the vendor site or a first-hand account of a redemption in the last quarter.

date	source	what it proved
2026-10-22	www.starverse-ai.com/guide/archives/2814	The 100-hour A10 or 4090 grant and its two verification routes; application requires uploading a student card or CHSI verification code, or entering an .edu address, reviewed within 30 minutes; anti-abuse is face recognition plus device fingerprint.
2026-10-22	www.starverse-ai.com/guide/archives/2814	Vendor pricing that sets the value: CNY 1.8 per hour for a single RTX 4090, CNY 2.2 for an A10, and 100 hours worth CNY 180 to 220.
2026-10-22	www.starverse-ai.com/guide/archives/2130	A second education sponsorship for .edu.cn holders: a CNY 500 GPU voucher exchangeable for 300+ hours of RTX 4090 or 80 hours of A100 40G, a larger one-shot grant gated on a Chinese academic address specifically.
