Free tier	no free tier: per-second GPU billing from $0.35 an hour for an RTX A6000 to $3.20 for an H100 SXM, with the first 100 GB of instance disk per GPU included and no egress fees unit none; metered on none
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	not stated
Identity	institution a university email from a US institution; the page states only students enrolled at US universities qualify
Limits	request-rate $0.000819 a GPU-second for an H100 SXM; $0.35 an hour for an RTX A6000 source per-object-cap the first 100 GB of instance disk per GPU is included and bills only while running; snapshots are $0.05 a GB-month source per-ip-shaping data egress is $0.00 a GB source excluded as gpu-only
Binding	write-gated the US university enrolment check fails first: there is no other route to the USD 20 credit
Interface	unknown
Tooling	not stated
Composes with	not stated
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Corrected 2026-10-22: paid-only read only the pricing page, which lists no signup credit, and missed the students page, which publishes USD 20 of credit for A6000 or L40 use. The gate is a US university enrolment rather than a card, so the capacity exists and fails identity.
Evidence rung	documented the pricing page was read on 2026-10-22 and publishes per-second rates per resource, the included disk and the zero egress fee. There is no free tier, so the verdict moves to paid-only
Checked	2026-10-22 (live); stale on 2026-11-21
