Free cloud AI credits

The big cloud platforms hand new accounts sizeable credits — $200 to $300 — that work on their hosted model services. They are the most generous one-off offers, but each requires a payment method.

The short answer

Google Cloud’s $300 / 90-day credit is the most generous and covers Vertex AI and the Gemini API. Azure’s $200 / 30-day credit works on Azure OpenAI, and AWS’s up-to-$200 credits can be spent on Amazon Bedrock. All three require a card for verification.
