+ 87 • The $1 credit goes further than you think — with DeepSeek V3 at $0.25/M tokens, that is 4 million tokens of inference. Enough for significant prototyping

+ 88 • Phone verification is mandatory — you cannot get the promotional credit without it
No comments on this line yet.
+ 89 • Basic tier 405B limits are tight — only 5 RPM for Llama 3.1 405B on Basic. Use smaller models for rapid iteration, then switch to 405B for final outputs

+ 90 • Flux.1 image gen is extremely cheap — at $0.01 base price, you can generate 100 standard images for $1

+ 91 • Upgrade to Pro is painless — deposit $5 to get 10x rate limits across all models. The $5 becomes usable credit, not a fee
