What each service says about free GPU time
This is a separate list from the free LLM APIs: these services give you compute, not a hosted model. It is not part of the ranking and no count, score or collection of the site includes it. Each value below is written only when the provider's own page says it, with the sentence and the day it was read; otherwise it reads Not stated, which is not the same as no. A service is listed only when its own page, read as plain text, says what it offers; pages that need a browser to read are not covered yet. A listed service can still have Not stated next to "Free GPU access": the page does not say that its free credit pays for GPU time, and the page then does not claim it. Data of 2026-10-13.

Worth knowing
Google Cloud Free Trial
The trial gives a $300 credit over 90 days, but while the billing account is a non-billable Free trial account you cannot add GPUs to VM instances, so it is not a free GPU offer.

“While your billing account is a non-billable Free trial account, you can't do any of the following: Add GPUs to your VM instances.”
