The first $7.30 is on us. Then we split the bill
The Ocean Network Subsidy is our way of paying part of your AI bill. The first $7.30 is on us, once. That is about 2 hours on an H200 GPU. After that we pay 50% of what you make, up to $10 every week.
Why? Because we know you have a prompt you keep meaning to try, maybe a whole folder of them, and what usually gets in the way is the meter: a monthly plan, a credit pack, and the feeling that someone is reading over your shoulder while you experiment.
Ocean Network works differently. Nobody trains a model on your prompts, and what you make is not stored or used, so your style stays yours and your half-finished ideas stay private. You pay only when you create, whether you are testing something out or making the real thing. And a first draft is a starting point: adjust the prompt, try a variation, keep the one that lands. So claim your subsidy, pick a template and start turning those ideas into content.
What you get
Two things, in this order:
- Free credit. The first $7.30 of whatever you make is free, the equivalent of about 2 hours on an H200 GPU. This is awarded once per person and does not renew.
- A weekly discount. After the free credit, we cover 50% of what you spend, up to $10 every week. Make $20 worth of content, pay $10.
Add them up and your dashboard shows $17.30 available on day one: $7.30 to spend freely, plus up to $10 in discounts for the week.
Only the weekly discount resets, every Thursday at 00:00 UTC. The free credit does not. Unused discount does not roll over, so use it or wave it goodbye.
There is no subscription and no credit pack to buy first. You pay for what you make, and the payment step shows what the subsidy covers before you confirm.
How to claim it
Three steps, about 2 minutes, zero dollars.
- Submit details. New to Ocean Network? Create your free account at dashboard.oncompute.ai and you are minutes away from free credit. Already with us? Select "Log in". Either way, open "My account" → "Subsidy" and select "Get the subsidy". Share your name, email and one social handle (Discord, Telegram or X).
- Verify email. We send you a 6-digit code. You have 10 minutes, which is plenty unless you go make coffee first.
- Claim. Check the wallet shown, select "Claim subsidy", and you are set. It can take up to a minute, then the page turns Active and shows $17.30 available: your $7.30 free credit plus this week's $10 of 50% off.
The subsidy is one per person, so each email and social handle works once. The full walkthrough is in the docs.
What to make with it
The subsidy works on templates, AI models and compute jobs. If you are here to create, start with templates. Each one is a ready-made studio: pick it, tell it what you want, collect the result.
Four places to spend your free credit:
- Video Generator. For when you have an idea and no camera crew. Give it a sentence, a photo or a few reference images and it hands back a video with the sound already in sync. Type, press Generate, done.
- UGC Reel Maker. For when you need "authentic" content by Friday. One photo becomes a 15 or 30-second vertical reel: the same face in every shot, with voice, room sound and music. It looks like a weekend of filming. It was one photo.
- Ad Campaign Generator. For when the product launches next week and the ad budget is a rumor. Hand it up to 5 product photos. It works out the audience, writes the copy and comes back with 5 matching ad images, 2 of them posters with headlines, plus a short video with music.
- Music Generator. For when your show still opens with stock music. Describe the song in one line and get an original track, vocals included. You can edit the lyrics before it sings a word.
That is four of many. The dashboard also has Product Photo Studio, Character Swap, Landing Studio and more. Browse all templates.
The first prompt rarely lands. That is what the free credit is for: try, adjust, try again, and keep the version that works.
Who this is for
Anyone who creates in bursts, not on a monthly meter:
- Content creators with Shorts, Reels and TikToks to post every week. Your discount resets on the same schedule you upload on
- Advertisers who need fresh creative to test. Try more versions of an ad without doubling the spend
- Shopify, Etsy or eBay sellers who need a product video when a listing goes live, not a monthly plan
- Podcasters who want an original music intro for their show
- Freelancers and agencies producing client content. Same deliverable, half the render cost
- Developers running open models or compute jobs. The same 50% applies
Every Thursday, it comes back
The free credit is a one-time welcome. The weekly discount is the part that stays.
Each Thursday your 50% discount resets to the full $10. You can check what is left, and when it resets, under "My account" → "Subsidy" in the dashboard.
If what you are making costs more than your remaining free credit, the credit covers what it can and the rest gets the 50% discount. You never have to work it out yourself: the split is on the payment screen.
Your work stays yours
Your prompts and outputs are not stored or used by Ocean Network. Nobody learns your style from your prompts, and what you make for a client or a launch stays between you and them.
Building something? The subsidy covers that too
The subsidy is not only for templates. The same one-time $7.30 credit and weekly 50% discount apply when you run models and services on nodes labeled Subsidized.
- Curated models: open models that arrive preconfigured, so you skip the setup and go straight to the prompt. Qwen3.8-27B and gemma-4-31B-it for everyday reasoning, gpt-oss-120b and DeepSeek-V4-Flash for the hard problems, Qwen3-Coder-Next and Kimi-K2.7-Code when the job is code.
- Custom models: found something on Hugging Face you want to try? Bring any compatible model and set your own engine, context and quantization.
- Services: ready-made apps you add your own models to. ComfyUI for image and video generation, Open WebUI for a ChatGPT-style chat with local LLMs, and OpenCode for agentic coding in your browser.
- Coding agents: templates that put a coding agent to work in your browser, with code and sessions that persist across launches.
You pick a model, choose your GPU and session length, and call an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with live logs. You pay for the window you book and nothing after it ends.
The fine print, in plain words
- $7.30 free credit, once per person. Use it across jobs until it runs out. It does not renew
- Then 50% off your spend, up to $10 per week
- Only the 50% discount resets, every Thursday at 00:00 UTC. Unused discount does not carry over
- Applies on nodes labeled Subsidized. Other nodes charge full price
- One subsidy per person, email and social handle
