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**SiliconFlow.** Per-token prices for every listed model are public, and one key reaches chat, embeddings, reranking, image, video and speech through OpenAI-style and Anthropic-style routes. No status page, SLA, security page or official SDK was found, release notes stop at 11 June 2026, and several model removals are dated the same day as their 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### SiliconFlow\n\n1. Set the OpenAI client's base URL to `https://api.siliconflow.com/v1`, or the Anthropic client's to `https://api.siliconflow.com/`, and send the key as a Bearer token\n2. Take model ids from the model pages or `GET /v1/models`, not from the OpenAPI enum or the function calling guide, which list removed models\n3. Check the `model` field of each response. On 11 June 2026 traffic for GLM-5 and Kimi-K2.5 was routed to successor models\n4. Use `response_format` of `json_object` only where the model page says JSON Mode is supported, and keep `max_tokens` about 10,000 below the context length\n5. Set the Claude Code environment variables by hand. The automated route pipes a script from an Amazon S3 bucket into bash\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cerebras Inference or SiliconFlow?\n\nCerebras Inference scores 68.4 (B) on agent readiness against SiliconFlow's 46.7 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. SiliconFlow leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Cerebras Inference and SiliconFlow need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cerebras Inference and SiliconFlow without installing anything?\n\nYes.
