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**Replicate Deployments.** OpenAPI file, llms.txt and an MCP server with a two-tool code mode. Private instances bill set-up and idle time, H100 at $5.49 an hour.\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### Replicate Deployments\n\n1. List `GET /v1/hardware` first and use the returned `sku` in the deployment body\n2. Set `min_instances` to 0 for bursty work; a warm H100 bills $5.49 an hour whether called or not\n3. Send `Prefer: wait` on deployment predictions to block instead of polling\n4. Copy outputs within an hour; API prediction data is deleted after that\n5. Wait for the reset time in the 429 body before retrying; prediction creates cap at 600 a minute\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CoreWeave or Replicate Deployments?\n\nReplicate Deployments scores 63.6 (B) on agent readiness against CoreWeave's 61.5 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.

Replicate Deployments needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call CoreWeave and Replicate Deployments without installing anything?\n\nYes. CoreWeave has a hosted endpoint at https://api.coreweave.com and Replicate Deployments at https://api.replicate.com/v1.\n\n### Are CoreWeave and Replicate Deployments open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for CoreWeave.
