Supporting the Next Wave of AI Startups with the NVIDIA Inception Program

DeepInfra is proud to be a member of the NVIDIA Inception program. We started as a startup in 2022, and we know how much the right support matters early on: compute you can afford, tools that just work, and people in your corner.

NVIDIA Inception is a free program designed to help startups accelerate innovation and growth. Members get access to the latest developer resources and training, exclusive pricing on NVIDIA hardware and software, and exposure to the venture capital community. It's been a great community to be part of.

Now we want to pay that support forward. DeepInfra's serverless inference platform, accelerated by NVIDIA, is now available to NVIDIA Inception members through an exclusive offer that helps startups build and scale faster: 10 billion free tokens for NVIDIA Nemotron models, about $1,000 of inference.

What fellow NVIDIA Inception members get

• 10 Billion free tokens for NVIDIA Nemotron models
• Serverless inference. Call an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and pay per token. There's no cluster to manage.
• Production-grade throughput on the latest NVIDIA AI infrastructure, on the same platform you'll scale on
• Credits valid for one year from redemption

Claim the offer at deepinfra.com/nvidia-inception. You can also find it in the NVIDIA Inception member portal's benefits catalog.

More support for startups: DeepStart now offers 50B free tokens

Supporting startups is core to who we are. That's why we built DeepStart, our program for early-stage AI companies, and why we're expanding it today. Approved startups now get roughly 50 billion free tokens (about $1,000 at DeepSeek V4 Flash prices). That's 50x the 1 billion tokens the program offered before. You can use them on any of the 200+ models DeepInfra hosts, and they're valid for one year after approval.

Stack both benefits

NVIDIA Inception members get both benefits with a single application. When you claim the NVIDIA Inception offer at deepinfra.com/nvidia-inception, we verify your membership automatically and add your DeepStart credits too. There's no separate DeepStart application. NVIDIA Inception credits go to NVIDIA Nemotron models, and DeepStart credits cover everything else.

Who's eligible

• Current NVIDIA Inception members
• Startups less than 5 years old
• Raised between $250K and $10M USD
• One grant per company

Why we're doing this

"AI startups are moving from prototype to production faster than ever, and infrastructure can quickly become the constraint. We want teams to be able to focus on building products instead of managing infrastructure. By expanding DeepStart and working with NVIDIA Inception, we're giving more companies the capacity to test, build and scale on the same infrastructure they can use in production." — Nikola Borisov, co-founder and CEO, DeepInfra

We're grateful to NVIDIA for the support we've received along the way, from early access to new NVIDIA Nemotron models, which we've served on DeepInfra from day zero of their release, to direct help from NVIDIA engineers as we built our inference stack on TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, SGLang and NVIDIA Dynamo. Supporting fellow NVIDIA Inception members is our way of giving back, and we can't wait to see what they build.
