description: >-
  glhf (glhf.chat) positions itself as a usage-based platform with no required
  subscription, billing only for the GPU resources consumed when models are run
  and never charging for boot time. Public materials describe a beta period
  offering free access with a discounted usage-based pricing plan to follow, and
  competitive on-demand GPU rates relative to other GPU clouds. Specific
  per-token or per-GPU-hour dollar amounts are not publicly documented and are
  not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Pricing details are not fully published; verify current plan, beta status, and
  any per-token or per-GPU-hour rates on the glhf pricing page and account
  settings during reconciliation.
