Quoted from the vendor announcement dated 2026-03-07: the student support plan targets full-time students worldwide, and after completing edu email or CHSI verification a new account receives a CNY 10 trial credit plus 100 hours of NVIDIA A10 or RTX 4090 GPU cloud host.

Free tierQuoted from the vendor announcement dated 2026-03-07: the student support plan targets full-time students worldwide, and after completing edu email or CHSI verification a new account receives a CNY 10 trial credit plus 100 hours of NVIDIA A10 or RTX 4090 GPU cloud host. The vendor prices that: single RTX 4090 at CNY 1.8 per hour and A10 at CNY 2.2, so the 100 free hours are worth about CNY 180 to 220. The announcement states no price for an H100, A100, L40S or L4 (an A100 at CNY 8 per hour is quoted only as the going market rate), no tier such as spot or secure, and no minimum bill.

  • volume-quota (binding) 100 GPU hours once rather than monthly, behind an .edu address or a CHSI enrollment record, so the largest GPU-hour grant found in this class is unreachable without enrollment and does not renew. source
Identityinstitution institution, in the form of student status: the grant needs an .edu email address or a CHSI verification code, or an uploaded student card, reviewed within 30 minutes, and the anti-abuse check is face recognition plus device fingerprint, so a face check is part of the gate. The second offer is narrower - an .edu.cn address specifically for a CNY 500 voucher. No card, hold, debit or prepaid statement appears in any evidence row: unknown.
Egressnot stated
Interfaceunknown inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
Toolingnot stated
Composes with100 hours of 4090 time is enough to fine-tune a 7B model and is the largest GPU-hour grant found in this class; the composition that would matter is a second one-shot grant from a different vendor, since these cannot stack with themselves.
Reliabilityno reliability event recorded
NotesThe 300+ hour 4090 variant is recorded because it is the bigger number and strictly harder to reach, a Chinese academic address rather than any academic address. Both are one-shot, so neither becomes a recurring tier. Open question: whether either offer is live in October 2026. The vendor homepage now leads with unrelated video-generation products and carries no education section, so the March 2026 guide post is the only source and the offer may have quietly lapsed.
