No idempotency keys or control-plane rate limits were found, spot and B200 prices go through sales, and a storage outage in eu-norway1 lasted about four hours on 29 September 2026.\n\n**Massed Compute.** The hosted MCP server and REST API accept OAuth grants or API tokens in read-only and full-access tiers, and all 17 tools carry typed schemas and safety annotations in a public server card. No status page, rate limit figures or API changelog were found, a launch has no idempotency key, and the governing terms could not be read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Crusoe Cloud\n\n1. Sign every request. Build the payload from path, sorted query string, verb and `X-Crusoe-Timestamp`, HMAC-SHA256 it with the base64url-decoded secret, and send `Authorization: Bearer 1.0:\u003caccess_key_id\u003e:\u003csignature\u003e`.\n2. Use `https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1`. Some docs pages and the MCP server still name `api.crusoecloud.com` and `/v1alpha5`.\n3. Creates, updates and deletes return an operation. Poll the matching operations endpoint for `state`, and list existing resources by name before retrying a create, because no idempotency key was found.\n4. Managed AI uses separate Intelligence API keys and hosts, `api.inference.crusoecloud.com` for OpenAI-compatible calls and `api.intelligence.crusoecloud.com` for files and fine-tuning jobs.\n5. Delete a VM and its disks to stop charges. A stopped on-demand VM is not billed for compute, but its 128 GB OS disk still bills at $0.08 a GiB-month.\n\n### Massed Compute\n\n1. Use `https://vm.massedcompute.com/api/v1`. The older docs at api-docs.massedcompute.com describe a separate marketplace API on `api.massedcompute.com` whose keys come from support.\n2. Ask the owner for a read-only token unless the task must launch or terminate. Read-only credentials cannot call launch, restart, terminate or SSH key changes.\n3. Call `gpu_inventory_list` and `images_list` before `instances_launch`. Product names and image IDs are free values, and SXM-only images do not run on PCIe cards.\n4. Expect 402 on launch until the owner has added credit and set a recharge amount and threshold. List instances before retrying a launch.\n5. Terminate to end billing. Stopping keeps the full hourly charge, and termination deletes the instance data.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Crusoe Cloud or Massed Compute?\n\nCrusoe Cloud scores 63.4 (B) on agent readiness against Massed Compute's 42.3 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Massed Compute leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Crusoe Cloud and Massed Compute need an API key?\n\nCrusoe Cloud needs an API key. Massed Compute takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Crusoe Cloud and Massed Compute without installing anything?\n\nYes. Crusoe Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloud.crusoe.ai/v1 and Massed Compute at https://vm.massedcompute.com/api/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crusoe-cloud-vs-massed-compute.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crusoe-cloud-vs-massed-compute.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"crusoe-cloud\", \"b\": \"massed-compute\"}`.
