Meet Tera Compute, from the team behind Hashbranch

What Tera is, why people pay for it, and $150 to try it, in plain English.

Hi there,

You know us from Hashbranch. The same team built Tera Compute, and this email is the plain-English version of what it is and why it’s worth two minutes of your time.

Tera sells AI computing power. Our customers are anyone who’s found a real use for AI, a business automating its busywork, a team running AI agents, a founder building a product, maybe you. Running those AI models takes a lot of computing power, and our customers pay for it based on how much they use. We’re who they buy it from. Steady, usage-based demand.

The models we run are open models, the kind anyone is allowed to run, unlike closed ones like ChatGPT or Claude that you can only rent from the one company that owns them. Some of the best AI models in the world right now come out of China, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and they go toe to toe with anything American. The usual catch is that using them means sending your data to a server overseas. We run them here on US soil, so you get these frontier models with none of the worry about where your data ends up.

Why our customers pick us:

  • Cheaper. A fraction of what the closed models charge, starting around $0.25 per million tokens (a token is about a word).

  • Private. Nothing stored, nothing used to train anything. Your data stays yours, and stays in the US.

  • Simple. Every model on one key, switch between them in one line of code.

Hashbranch is still running. Tera is the new thing we’re building alongside it, and we’d rather show you than talk at you.

So here’s $150 of Tera credits, on us. No card, no contract, no call. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to try with AI, this is real money to do it with. Take a look.
