Models and limits
| Model | Context | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.3 70B | 128k | 30 RPM developer tier signal | Best for high-speed inference tests; verify the current model ID, context, TPM, and concurrency limits before production. |

Free developer tier / 30 RPM signal · 30 RPM developer tier signal; model-level TPM and concurrency may vary
Cerebras Cloud's high-intent hook is the developer free RPM signal and very low latency. Free tier, model catalog, context, TPM, concurrency, and pricing can change, so save console and official documentation snapshots before production.
Access notes
Proxy may be needed
Mainland China website, signup, console, API domain, DNS/TLS, and payment flow are unconfirmed; keep a locally reachable provider or compliant gateway fallback for China-facing users.
If multiple provider keys become painful, compare official providers, API gateways, and alternatives.
Recommended path
Start from the main Cerebras Cloud profile and confirm whether it fits your task.
Create an API key after signup and use the Free developer tier / 30 RPM signal first.
Run one or two real tasks before paying or switching providers.
If access is unstable, compare relay options or local alternatives.
Production decision checks
Cerebras Cloud free credits are for validation. Before launch, record cost per 1K requests, retry-adjusted cost, and a monthly spend cap.
If you already use the OpenAI SDK, verify Cerebras Cloud base URL, model names, streaming, tool calling, and JSON mode before migration.
Keep one similar provider or OpenLLMAPI route ready so credit exhaustion, regional access issues, or model deprecations do not break users.
Save this source snapshot plus the official console state so future quota, pricing, and rate-limit changes can be audited.
