- free tier: A free trial that is documented with real numbers: 'Once registered, you automatically have access to Arm Virtual Hardware and are enrolled on a 30-day free trial. This trial provides access for up to 15 active CPU cores at a time and up to 100 core hours of usage. Your trial includes 25 device slots.' After the trial the rate is 'USD 0.50 per core hour, where a core hour is one hour of CPU core usage on AVH', with 'Discounts... for open-source software development and other non-commercial, academic, or research usage'. The models are instruction-accurate virtual development kits, Corstone fixed virtual platforms and Ethos-U NPU models, and they run in the vendor's cloud rather than on a local machine. | unit: hours | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: trial-credit
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: 100 core hours inside 30 days is the cap: a five-core device exhausts the trial in 20 hours of wall clock, and after the 30 days the virtual device shuts down automatically. | source: [1]
- egress: not published: the page read states no egress allowance and no overage price; https://support.avh.corellium.com/getting-started/access read 2026-11-03 | metered: no | source: [1]

- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): 100 core hours inside 30 days is the cap: a five-core device exhausts the trial in 20 hours of wall clock, and after the 30 days the virtual device shuts down automatically. [1]
- limits note: 100 core hours inside 30 days is the cap: a five-core device exhausts the trial in 20 hours of wall clock, and after the 30 days the virtual device shuts down automatically.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: REST API with an API token; AVH CLI installed from npm (@corellium/corellium-cli); SSH to a virtual device over the AVH VPN or an SSH tunnel
- tooling: the provider documents its own CLI, the AVH CLI, per https://support.avh.corellium.com/sdk/cli/: "The AVH CLI is a command line tool that allows you to manage your AVH instances from the terminal."
- composes with: It breaks at throughput, because a virtual Ethos-U is a functional model and its latency numbers are not silicon numbers.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Two things are stated rather than measured: 100 core hours is the trial figure, and whether the trial resets per account is not published. The AWS Marketplace route is a second door with the same rate. This is the only accelerator-adjacent programme whose free allowance is published in a unit that can be planned against.
