No SLA was found, three models moved to paid-only access on 28 July 2026 with no notice, and several docs pages still use a model retired in May.\n\n**SambaCloud.** Per-token prices and the model list are readable without a key at `/v1/models`, and a free tier needs no card. Production models get two to three weeks' notice before removal, 13 model ids left between March and June 2026, and the docs disagree with the live catalogue on MiniMax-M2.7.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cloudflare Workers AI\n\n1. Check the model page before calling. Seven models need Workers Paid or AI Gateway credits and return 403 with code 5035 on the Free plan\n2. Read the internal code on a 429. 3036 means the day's 10,000 free neurons are spent until 00:00 UTC, 3040 means capacity, so retry later\n3. Set `options.rejectIfBusy` to fail fast, or add `?queueRequest=true` for the batch route when the answer can wait\n4. Send the same `x-session-affinity` value on every turn of a session to reach the prefix cache and the cached-input price\n5. Keep paid frontier models under 20 requests a minute per model, or 50 with prepaid AI Gateway credits\n\n### SambaCloud\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.sambanova.ai/v1/models` at start-up and use only ids it returns. The docs name models the endpoint no longer lists\n2. Read `x-ratelimit-remaining-requests` and `x-ratelimit-remaining-requests-day` on every response. The free tier allows 20 requests a day per model\n3. Treat 429 `queue_full` and 503 `maintenance` as retryable after a delay, and 410 `model_deprecated` as a signal to change model\n4. Validate JSON output yourself. Schema enforcement is best effort and `strict: true` changes nothing\n5. Check `max_completion_tokens` per model. DeepSeek-V3.1 caps output at 7,168 tokens and Llama 3.3 70B at 3,072\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cloudflare Workers AI or SambaCloud?\n\nCloudflare Workers AI scores 68.3 (B) on agent readiness against SambaCloud's 66.4 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. SambaCloud leads on reliability and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Cloudflare Workers AI and SambaCloud need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Cloudflare Workers AI and SambaCloud without installing anything?\n\nYes. Cloudflare Workers AI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai and SambaCloud at https://api.sambanova.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-workers-ai-vs-sambanova.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-workers-ai-vs-sambanova.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-workers-ai\", \"b\": \"sambanova\"}`.
