- free tier: Korean government programmes give Rebellions ATOM accelerators away, and the channel is a company. A published technical account states: 'K-Cloud Project (MSIT and NIPA, 3 years from 2023): the AI Semiconductor Farm construction and demonstration program. Three CSPs (Naver Cloud, KT Cloud, NHN Cloud) and three AI-chip makers (Rebellions, Sapeon, FuriosaAI) form a consortium' and 'High-Performance Computing Support Program (MSIT and NIPA, about 16.7B KRW in 2026): provides domestic NPU servers free of charge to selected demand companies... Gabia, for instance, provides Rebellions ATOM-Max at no cost.' The authors obtained '4x ATOM+ cards through one of these paths, in the form of KT Cloud's AI Nexus'. | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: government-provisioned

- identity: institution | detail: a company selected into a Korean government programme, not an individual signup: capacity goes to 'selected demand companies', and the one documented route to hardware is '4x ATOM+ cards through one of these paths, in the form of KT Cloud's AI Nexus', a rented cloud account. What the KT Cloud account itself requires (a card, a Korean phone number, a business registration number) is not stated in this record's evidence, and no hold, debit or prepaid term is stated.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): allocation is by selection as a demand company inside a national programme, so the gate is a legal entity in Korea plus a review, not a quota. [1]
- limits note: allocation is by selection as a demand company inside a national programme, so the gate is a legal entity in Korea plus a review, not a quota.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: The four cards arrived inside KT Cloud's AI Nexus, a rented cloud account with government funding behind it, and the compiler on top is free. It does not chain for a non-Korean individual: the free path exists only as a selection decision.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: This is the largest free accelerator allocation that is not a trial, and it is unreachable for the reason every national allocation is. Confidence is reported because the primary sources are programme notices plus one operator account.
