Nebius Token Factory $1 Trial Credit

Overview

Nebius Token Factory (the platform formerly branded Nebius AI Studio) is an OpenAI-compatible inference service for open-weight models. According to Nebius' billing documentation, new accounts receive $1 in trial credit that is valid for 30 days.

Free Trial Credit

• $1 in trial credit granted upon first sign-up.
• Valid for 30 days.
• A billing account is mandatory during onboarding and requires a bank card; the card is charged automatically once the balance runs out.
• Promo codes issued as part of special offers grant additional free Token Factory credits.

Platform and Models

Token Factory serves open-source text and reasoning models from providers such as DeepSeek, Meta (Llama), Qwen, and Mistral, alongside embedding and image models. The API is OpenAI-compatible: point an existing SDK at the base URL https://api.tokenfactory.nebius.com, supply a Nebius API key, and requests work unchanged. Function calling and structured JSON output are supported, and tokens are billed per use at published per-token rates once credit is exhausted.

How to Get Started

1. Go to tokenfactory.nebius.com and create an account with Google or GitHub, or an email address.
2. Complete billing onboarding (a bank card is required).
3. Generate an API key in the console.
4. Call the OpenAI-compatible endpoint with the Token Factory base URL.

The $1 allowance is enough for lightweight evaluation of the model catalog. Sustained usage converts to pay-as-you-go billing from the card balance.
