Cerebras starter access is no longer a no-card path.

The current official FAQ says API access requires a verified payment method. It describes $5 in starter credits that expire 30 days after being claimed.

User impactPayment verification required

Do not recommend Cerebras to users specifically seeking no-card access.

What changed in our directory

Cerebras remains listed because the starter credit can still be useful, but its eligibility badge now states the payment-method requirement. It is not grouped with no-card options.

What remains uncertain

Provider policies and account eligibility can change. The official console is the final source for the offer shown to your account. FreeToken.link will not mark the account-level offer as independently live until its own canary account has passed.
