 "models_detail": "The Free Edition supports experimenting with foundation models and deploying AI systems, but Databricks does not publish a Free-Edition-specific list of included foundation models. The limitation page explicitly says certain models are unavailable.",
 "free_terms": "Databricks Free Edition is a no-cost, serverless-only, quota-limited account for personal, academic, learning, experimentation, and other non-commercial or not-for-profit use. It has daily fair-use limits; exceeding quota can shut down compute for the rest of the day and, in extreme cases, the rest of the month. Model serving has a limited number of active endpoints, no GPU serving endpoints, no provisioned throughput, no custom models on GPU or batch inference, and some models are unavailable.",
 "signup": "required: users choose a signup method and Databricks creates a Free Edition workspace; authentication is limited to email OTP, Google, or Microsoft",
 "card": "not required: Databricks explicitly says no credit card or payment is required",
 "region": "Available to qualified users who are legally eligible. The Free Edition terms exclude sanctioned persons and persons located or organized in sanctioned countries or territories. A complete supported-country list is not stated.",
 "data_treatment": "Offer-wide: Databricks explicitly reserves the right to train on Free Edition users' data. This differs from some separately documented Databricks AI assistive features that say prompts and responses are not used to train generative foundation models.",
 "clock": "No expiration. Daily usage limits apply, and extreme overage can suspend compute for the rest of the month. Databricks may delete accounts inactive for a prolonged period.",
