Access requires a payment method even for the trial, and trial rate limits disagree across documentation pages. Shared-model availability and dedicated-model availability differ.\n\n**GroqCloud.** Free plan with no card, at 30 requests a minute and 1,000 a day on gpt-oss. Four model shutdown dates between 2026-07-17 and 2026-09-21, with no stated minimum notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cerebras Inference\n\n1. Set CEREBRAS_API_KEY and use https://api.cerebras.ai/v1 with an OpenAI-compatible client.\n2. Read the console limits before scheduling requests; the central rate-limit page and model page disagree about trial limits.\n3. Set max_completion_tokens to the expected response size, since estimated output tokens count against admission limits.\n4. Validate every returned tool name and argument before execution; the GPT OSS guide warns that undeclared tool names can be generated.\n\n### GroqCloud\n\n1. Call `/models` at start-up. Four model ids stopped working between July and September\n2. Read `retry-after` on a 429 and the `x-ratelimit-remaining-tokens` header before the next call\n3. Free plan allows 8,000 tokens a minute on gpt-oss, so keep prompts small or batch them\n4. Don't build on Qwen 3.8 27B. It's a preview and previews can go at short notice\n5. Treat a 498 as Flex capacity and retry later; server errors aren't billed\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cerebras Inference or GroqCloud?\n\nGroqCloud scores 74.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Cerebras Inference's 68.4 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Cerebras Inference leads on schema \u0026 documentation and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Cerebras Inference and GroqCloud need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cerebras Inference and GroqCloud without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cerebras Inference has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cerebras.ai/v1 and GroqCloud at https://api.groq.com/openai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cerebras-inference-vs-groq.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cerebras-inference-vs-groq.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cerebras-inference\", \"b\": \"groq\"}`.
