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**Router.com (Ramp Router).** Detailed Markdown docs with typed error codes, per-model capability data and routing an agent can set per request. No OpenAPI document, status page, changelog or published rate limits were found. Signup needs a US business email in a browser, and Ramp records prompts and outputs for a year by default unless switched off.\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### Router.com (Ramp Router)\n\n1. Switch off content recording in Settings before sending private data. It is on by default and keeps prompts and outputs for a year\n2. Read model ids from `GET /v1/models` at runtime. Ids are account-specific, an unknown one is a 404, and Gemini ids need your own Google key\n3. Use `POST /v1/responses` with a `models` list for fallbacks. Router stops falling back once a stream has started\n4. Set `fallback_timeout` and `provider_timeout`, or `allow_flex_tier: false`, when latency matters. Flex routing is on by default\n5. Treat both `401 invalid_api_key` and `401 api_key_deactivated` as a possibly locked key, and stop retrying on `402`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cerebras Inference or Router.com (Ramp Router)?\n\nCerebras Inference scores 68.6 (B) on agent readiness against Router.com (Ramp Router)'s 54.5 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Router.com (Ramp Router) leads on payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Cerebras Inference and Router.com (Ramp Router) need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cerebras Inference and Router.com (Ramp Router) without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cerebras Inference has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cerebras.ai/v1 and Router.com (Ramp Router) at https://api.router.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cerebras-inference-vs-ramp-router.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cerebras-inference-vs-ramp-router.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cerebras-inference\", \"b\": \"ramp-router\"}`.
