Claim it with an AI agent
A browser or computer-use AI agent, for example Grok Bot or Meta's Muse, can do most of the clicking and setup. You keep the steps tied to your identity, money and legal consent.
The agent can do
- Open the official rate-limits page and show the Free Trial limits per model.
- After you create the API key, write the code (OpenAI-compatible calls) to try the models and keep within rate limits.
- Track credit use so you know when the 30 days or $5 will run out.
You do yourself
- Create the account and sign in yourself.
- Add the verified payment method yourself. Never share card details with an agent.
- Create and store the API key yourself.
- Decide yourself whether to buy more credits.
Example prompt: "Open the official Cerebras page (inference-docs.cerebras.ai) and check that this offer still matches what it says there. Once I've signed in, set it up for me. Stop and hand control back to me at any sign-in, phone or ID check, card field, captcha or terms acceptance."
Use one account and its trial credits. Don't open extra accounts to collect more trial credit.
