- 1 Go to cloud.cerebras.ai and sign up with your university email. No credit card required — confirm your email and log in.
- 2 Create an API key in the dashboard ("API Keys" → "New API Key"). Copy it to a safe place; you will not see it again.
- 3 Make your first call using the OpenAI SDK — swap in the Cerebras base URL and your key (see the provider cheatsheet at /inference-providers-cheatsheet.html for the generic swap pattern): base_url="https://api.cerebras.ai/v1", model="llama-3.3-70b".
- 4 Check the response — you should see a completion come back at noticeably high speed (~2,600 tok/s). The free tier gives you 1 M tokens/day and ~30 req/min.
You received a valid API response from Cerebras and can see llama-3.3-70b output in your terminal.
