The CloudRift AI Grant provides $100–$1,000 to train models, build tools, or create tutorials. No strings attached—just mention us when you ship.
Most AI innovation happens outside big labs—researchers working on side projects, indie devs prototyping new tools, creators explaining concepts on YouTube. But compute is expensive, especially when you're just getting started.
The CloudRift AI Grant gives you $100–$1,000 in GPU credits to rent RTX 4090s, RTX 5090s, and other on-demand hardware. Use it for training, inference, experiments, or content production. In return, we ask that you mention CloudRift when you publish your work.
