What happened

Between the Jul 13, 2026 and Jul 20, 2026 captures of Cerebras's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Free plan renamed to 'Free Trial'; tagline changed from generic onboarding copy to explicit '$5 in free credits after making an account' framing. Underlying feature bullets unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (freemium change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 7, 2026) lists Developer at $0.35 1M GPT OSS 120B input tokens + $0.75 1M GPT OSS 120B output tokens.

It lands 3 days after Cerebras's previous change, "Cerebras: preview models get Aug 17, 2026 deprecation date" (Jul 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Cerebras reveals Developer Tier per-model API pricing table" (Jul 24, 2026). Cerebras has been tracked since 2026-06-19.

In the same window Groq, SambaNova and Google also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
