| Composes with | A monthly renewed inference credit is the only recurring shape found in this class, and it composes with an existing public project rather than requiring a new one. Where it breaks: it buys inference on a reseller's catalogue, not GPU time, and the renewal is at the vendor's discretion. |

| Notes | The vendor URL atlascloud.ai/oss-program redirected to the homepage on the read date, so the primary source could not be read and this stays reported, not documented. Two independent third parties agree on the tier structure, which is why it is recorded at all. If the program is live it is a recurring grant for anyone with a public repository; the route to settle it is a direct request to the vendor. |
