| Free tier | No free GPU allowance. Dedicated GPU rates on the pricing page, billed in minute granularity: A100 80 GB USD 1.49 per GPU-hour, H100 80 GB USD 2.90, H200 141 GB USD 3.49, B200 180 GB USD 4.89, B300 270 GB USD 5.89. These are the price list for deploying a custom model on dedicated GPUs and paying for uptime; the SSH GPU-instance page lists B200 (1x at USD 4.89 per hour, 8x at USD 39.12 per hour). L40S, RTX 4090 and L4 are not listed. unit none; metered on wall-clock; none |

|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
Billing runs while a sandbox is creating, starting, running or stopping, so 'per-second' includes boot and the disk save on stop. The plan shapes and rates are behind an authenticated catalog: GET /v1/sandboxes/catalog returned {"detail":"User is not authorized to access this resource"} to an unauthenticated request, and the docs say explicitly not to hardcode the numbers. |
| Binding | retention-clamped The 24-hour auto-stop is the first hard wall: no configuration on the pages read lifts it, so the machine cannot be an always-on monitor or VPN node even before the price matters. |
| Identity | card A DeepInfra account is required and sandboxes draw on DeepInfra billing; the catalog endpoint refuses an unauthenticated caller, so plan shapes and prices are visible only to a signed-in account. Card types, any authorisation hold, and whether a debit or prepaid card is accepted were not established. |
| Egress | Not published. The overview page and the blog post state the compute and lifecycle meters and say nothing about a traffic allowance or a per-GB egress rate. |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: the unit is a sandbox, not an object. Each command defaults to a 60-second timeout with a 30-minute hard cap. |
| Retention | Stopping keeps /workspace and resets everything else; 'you've got up to 7 days to start() it again before it's permanently deleted'. Only /workspace survives a stop, and failed sandboxes lose /workspace. (7 days) |
| Interface | rest, cli Python SDK ('Sandbox.create(plan="medium")') and an HTTP API, with a dashboard at deepinfra.com/dash/sandboxes. |
| Tooling | The vendor's Python SDK and REST API; commands run inside the microVM and files move only through /workspace. |
| Composes with | USD 0.054 an hour for the nano plan is USD 39.42 a month if never stopped, and a sandbox auto-stops after 24 hours of continuous running, so it is not an always-on machine. |
| Reliability | Two documented loss paths: a failed sandbox loses /workspace, and everything outside /workspace is discarded on stop. Shared-fleet capacity can refuse creation. |
| Notes | Arithmetic: USD 0.054 an hour × 730 = USD 39.42 a month if the auto-stop did not exist; × 300 h = USD 16.20. The auto-stop makes the 730-hour figure hypothetical, and it is recorded as the price of the meter rather than the price of a machine. What the nano shape actually contains is unverified because the catalog is authenticated. |
| Evidence note | documented The nano rate, the per-second meter and the whole lifecycle are quoted from DeepInfra's own blog and docs, read. The rate-to-shape mapping is not documented publicly: the vendor directs readers to an authenticated catalog, so the shape fields stay null rather than guessed. What would raise it: a signed-in read of /v1/sandboxes/catalog, which would give the exact vCPU/RAM/disk of the nano plan. |

This is the largest per-entity inference credit found and it is closed to a person without a funded company. It is a separate programme from the signup record above: the same provider carries both a closed grant and a card-gated API. |
