How to Claim GitLab Ultimate Free for 30 Days

Hunting for a way to test the newest coding models without paying? GitLab is handing out a 30-day Ultimate trial with 24 credits per user, and it opens up the Duo Agent Platform. That is where GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 are up for a test run.

Claiming it costs nothing and no credit card is required, so the only thing you spend is the few minutes it takes to switch the trial on.

Tutorial

1. Open https://about.gitlab.com/free-trial/ to start the claim.
2. Activate the GitLab Ultimate Trial. That gets you the 30 days and 24 credits per user.
3. Open Duo Agentic Chat.
4. Pick your model and start coding. GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 are the two the source names for this.

Wrapping Up

You now have a month of GitLab Ultimate and 24 credits to spend inside Duo, with no card on file to worry about later. If you have been looking for an AI coding agent to speed up a build, this is a cheap way to find out whether it fits how you work. Put it on a real project rather than a throwaway test, and the 30 days will tell you something useful.
