No published request rate limits, 429 handling or SLA.\n\n**Cerebrium.** Per-second GPU prices are public, a 94-operation OpenAPI spec covers the management API, and service account tokens expire and are limited to named projects. Deployed endpoints are callable without a token unless `disable_auth = false` is set, and no request rate limits, 429 handling or SLA were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Beam\n\n1. Check the response body for `ok: false` on gateway calls; a failure can arrive as HTTP 200\n2. Don't pipe `beam deploy --format json` output into CI logs, since it contains the workspace token\n3. Route anything over 180 seconds to a task queue and poll the task instead of holding the endpoint request\n4. Set `keep_warm_seconds` deliberately; the 180-second endpoint default bills three minutes of GPU after every call\n5. Pass `gpu=[\"RTX4090\", \"A10G\"]` so a job still schedules when one type is out\n\n### Cerebrium\n\n1. Set `disable_auth = false` in `cerebrium.toml` before deploying. The default leaves the endpoint callable by anyone with the URL\n2. Authenticate headless with `CEREBRIUM_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN`. `cerebrium login` opens a browser\n3. Raise `response_grace_period` for long work. It defaults to 15 minutes and async runs stop at 12 hours\n4. Send `?async=true` to get a `run_id` with HTTP 202, and add `webhookEndpoint` because async calls return no result to the caller\n5. Check the plan before choosing hardware. A100, H100, H200, B200 and RTX PRO 6000 need Standard, and `protected` compute bills at twice the listed rate\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Beam or Cerebrium?\n\nBeam and Cerebrium score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 55.5 (C) and 55.3 (C). Cerebrium leads on schema \u0026 documentation and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Are Beam and Cerebrium open source?\n\nBeam is open source (AGPL-3.0).
