Lambda Cloud credits for NVIDIA Inception members 🎁 Program

What you get

Lambda gives $1,000 in cloud credits to NVIDIA Inception members for building AI on Lambda Cloud. The credits cover on-demand NVIDIA B200, H100 and A100 GPUs and GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, plus persistent storage.

Who qualifies

Members of NVIDIA Inception, one grant per company. You must be located in, and pay with a credit card from, one of the listed places: Australia, Canada, Chile, the EU (except Lithuania), Iceland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the UAE, the UK or the US.

Good to know

• Lambda reviews each application; submitting one does not guarantee credits.
• A valid credit card is required to prevent fraud and calculate tax.
• Credits are valid for 12 months from the date they are applied to your account.
• This is not a standalone Lambda startup programme: you need to be accepted into NVIDIA Inception first (free to join).

How to get the most from it

$1,000 goes quickly on top-end GPUs, so use it for focused jobs: a fine-tuning run, a benchmark of your model on different GPU types, or a short training experiment. Shut instances down when you are not using them, because on-demand billing keeps running while an instance is up, and remember that persistent storage is charged too. Write down the date the credits were applied so you use them within the 12 months.

Verdict

A small but useful top-up for training or fine-tuning runs on high-end GPUs. Join Inception first, then claim it.

2. Create a Lambda Cloud account and add a credit card from an eligible country.
