Frontier compute should be usable by builders outside the biggest labs.
Compute credits can help startups, teachers, clinics, local governments, legal aid, civic hackers, small manufacturers, and farms test useful AI without surrendering data or mission control.

Demo accounts are tied to Frontier Adoption Commons playbooks and INFRA-07-style allocation rules.
Allocation rules
Every credit pool names who may use it, which workflows qualify, and which uses are prohibited.
Data tiers
Synthetic, anonymized, de-identified, or secure-enclave data rules are visible before access.
Energy reporting
Compute is public infrastructure, so utilization and energy notes travel with each account.
Expiration and audit
Credits expire, logs are inspectable, and renewal depends on measured public-interest use.
Public-interest account ledger
Credits are attached to use cases, not blank checks.
Each account names the target institution, data tier, allocation rule, energy note, audit path, and expiration before any credits become civic infrastructure.
