Cerebras discontinue its free tier plan

Cerebras Systems has discontinued its free tier plan for inference API access, replacing it with a $5 free credit offer for new accounts. The company now offers paid Developer and Enterprise tiers, with Developer starting at $10 and providing 10x higher rate limits than the previous free tier. Cerebras also introduced two subscription plans for its Cerebras Code product: Pro at $50/month and Max at $200/month, both currently sold out.
