CaveatsNOT a renewing free tier — Cerebras' docs state there is “no-cost tier that renews automatically” and require you to “add a verified payment method” to use the trial; credits expire 30 days after they are granted, and when they run out API and Playground access stop until you buy more. The per-interval limits are unchanged from the old free tier, which makes the change easy to miss: what changed is that they now describe a card-gated 30-day trial, not a daily-resetting free allowance. 5 RPM throttle is slow for agent loops; ~8K context cap reported on the trial tier.

Example

No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://inference-docs.cerebras.ai/support/rate-limits
