Nebius AI Studio

European GPU cloud with a $1 trial credit. Llama 3.3 70B is the current featured id.

Nebius Token Factory (still billed as AI Studio in older consoles) is a European inference studio: dozens of open models, dual “fast” vs “base” prices, and $1 of trial credit for 30 days. Claiming it needs a payment method.

Not a standing free tier — when the dollar is gone you top up. Llama 3.3 70B is the example id in their current OpenAPI. OpenAI-compatible at api.studio.nebius.com/v1.

Max context: 128K
