| 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; government-provisioned |

| Identity | institution 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. |

| 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. |
