An organisation must be approved by CoreWeave's sales team before any token exists, and no request rate limits were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**Nebius AI Cloud.** One API definition generates the REST and gRPC interfaces, the CLI, Terraform provider and three SDKs, with a 602-operation OpenAPI document, `X-Idempotency-Key` and role-scoped service accounts. The status page lists 14 major incidents between 14 July and 8 October 2026, no request rate limits were found, and signup needs a browser and a card.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CoreWeave\n\n1. Create an API access token at console.coreweave.com/tokens with an expiry and send it as `Authorization: Bearer` to https://api.coreweave.com\n2. Add GPUs by applying a NodePool resource (`compute.coreweave.com/v1alpha1`) to a CKS cluster with `instanceType` and `targetNodes`. `instanceType` can't be changed afterwards\n3. Set `targetNodes` to 0 or delete the Node Pool when a job ends. Nodes are whole 8-GPU machines billed by the hour\n4. Never pass `dry_run` to the MCP tool `coreweave_kubectl_apply` expecting a preview. The reference says the parameter is ignored and the manifest is applied\n5. Use a separate Forge API key and https://api.inference.wandb.ai/v1 for Serverless Inference. A CoreWeave API access token doesn't work there\n\n### Nebius AI Cloud\n\n1. Use a service account with an authorised key, then exchange a five-minute RS256 JWT at `https://auth.eu.nebius.com/oauth2/token/exchange` for a 12-hour Bearer token\n2. Send `X-Idempotency-Key` with a random UUID on every create, update and delete, since a 504 can follow a call that succeeded\n3. Poll the returned operation (`/ai/v1/endpoints/operations/{id}`) until `status` is set; concurrent operations on one resource are not supported\n4. Stop or delete endpoints when idle. A stopped endpoint bills nothing, a stopped Devlab or VM still bills for its disk\n5. Check region support first. Serverless AI is absent from `eu-south1` and `us-north1`, and each GPU platform exists in one to four regions\n6. Run the beta `nebius/mcp-server` with safe mode on (the default); `nebius_cli_execute` can run any CLI command when `SAFE_MODE=false`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CoreWeave or Nebius AI Cloud?\n\nNebius AI Cloud scores 67.2 (B) on agent readiness against CoreWeave's 61.5 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do CoreWeave and Nebius AI Cloud need an API key?\n\nCoreWeave needs an access token. Nebius AI Cloud takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call CoreWeave and Nebius AI Cloud without installing anything?\n\nYes.
