H100 at $6.50 and A100 at $4.00 an hour, and start-up and idle replica time are billed.\n\n**Crusoe Cloud.** The v1 REST API has a published OpenAPI description, Markdown docs, HMAC-signed keys, reader roles and a 90-day audit log, with on-demand GPU prices public. No idempotency keys or control-plane rate limits were found, spot and B200 prices go through sales, and a storage outage in eu-norway1 lasted about four hours on 29 September 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Baseten\n\n1. Create a team key with inference-only permission for calling models and keep full-access keys out of the agent\n2. Sleep for `retry_after` seconds on a 429 from api.baseten.co; the activate and deactivate endpoints allow 20 calls a minute\n3. Retry 429, 503 and 529 with backoff, but treat 500 as a bug in your model code\n4. Set `scale_down_delay` below the 900-second default or every burst bills 15 idle minutes\n5. Send payloads over 256 KiB to `/predict`, not `/async_predict`, unless support has raised the async limit\n\n### Crusoe Cloud\n\n1. Sign every request. Build the payload from path, sorted query string, verb and `X-Crusoe-Timestamp`, HMAC-SHA256 it with the base64url-decoded secret, and send `Authorization: Bearer 1.0:\u003caccess_key_id\u003e:\u003csignature\u003e`.\n2. Use `https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1`. Some docs pages and the MCP server still name `api.crusoecloud.com` and `/v1alpha5`.\n3. Creates, updates and deletes return an operation. Poll the matching operations endpoint for `state`, and list existing resources by name before retrying a create, because no idempotency key was found.\n4. Managed AI uses separate Intelligence API keys and hosts, `api.inference.crusoecloud.com` for OpenAI-compatible calls and `api.intelligence.crusoecloud.com` for files and fine-tuning jobs.\n5. Delete a VM and its disks to stop charges. A stopped on-demand VM is not billed for compute, but its 128 GB OS disk still bills at $0.08 a GiB-month.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Baseten or Crusoe Cloud?\n\nBaseten scores 66.5 (B) on agent readiness against Crusoe Cloud's 63.4 (B), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Crusoe Cloud leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Baseten and Crusoe Cloud need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Baseten and Crusoe Cloud without installing anything?\n\nYes. Baseten has a hosted endpoint at https://api.baseten.co and Crusoe Cloud at https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1.\n\n### Are Baseten and Crusoe Cloud open source?\n\nBaseten is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for Crusoe Cloud.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/baseten-vs-crusoe-cloud.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/baseten-vs-crusoe-cloud.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"baseten\", \"b\": \"crusoe-cloud\"}`.
