Baseten (signup credits)

Creating a new workspace grants a one-time $30 in trial credits, usable for Model APIs calls or dedicated GPU deployment testing

Credited automatically upon signing up at app.baseten.co; the vendor hasn't disclosed an expiration date for the credit. Once used up, billing is pay-as-you-go (GPU deployment starts at roughly $0.63/hour). There's also a Startup Program for AI startups — up to $25,000 in credits for Dedicated Deployments/Training and up to $2,500 for Model APIs — which requires a separate application and review, not granted automatically.

⚠️$30 is a one-time trial amount — enough to test a few model-deployment workflows, but not enough for sustained use. Good for evaluating Baseten's deployment experience; heavy use requires switching to paid or applying to the Startup Program.
