Nebius Launches Free AI Builder Program with $400+ Credits and Courses
Nebius launched a free AI Builder Program on Sept 10-11, aimed at developers and students building AI applications, with $400+ in cloud credits and discounts, runnable code examples and cookbooks, engineer office hours, and a developer community.
Confirmed
- The program is free to join; Nebius positions it as a one-stop starting point under the slogan that AI is "not just a model you call, but a system you build" (@IndraVahan, @testingcatalog).
- Credits come not only from Nebius but from Nebius Token Factory, Tavily and 20 launch partners, covering inference, web search and more (@testingcatalog).
- Content includes integration examples with Tavily and LangChain, plus code and cookbooks for models from NVIDIA, Qwen, MiniMax and others (@Arindam1729, @HeyZoyaKhan).
- It bundles a free AI agent building course, with Nebius certification for $1 (@heyshrutimishra).
- @testingcatalog also notes LangSmith and RAG blueprints are included.
Why it matters
The program signals cloud vendors shifting from selling raw compute to bundled ecosystem play — credits plus courses, blueprints and community — with an open-model focus, a substantive low-barrier offer for small teams and students.
