          "April 2026. Vercel's security bulletin says an attacker took over an employee's account through a compromised third-party AI tool, reached internal systems and decrypted non-sensitive environment variables of a limited subset of customers. AI Gateway was generally available then, and its docs have deployments keep AI Gateway and Token Pass API keys as environment variables. The bulletin documents remediation and marks the incident closed on 16 October 2026, so 3 of a possible 15 is taken, as for vercel-connect (https://vercel.com/kb/bulletin/vercel-april-2026-security-incident)."

Deprecated models get one week's notice and are then redirected to another model, there is no changelog or SLA, and an account needs a card or prepayment before any call.\n\n**Vercel AI Gateway.** Token prices pass through with no markup, prompts are not stored by the gateway, and budgets, provider failover and per-request logs are built in. The free monthly credit needs a card on file, rate limits are not published as numbers, no SLA covers the API, and the contractual promise not to train on content applies to Enterprise subscriptions only.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepInfra\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai/models` at start-up for ids, context sizes and prices. No key is needed\n2. Check the `model` field of each response. After a deprecation date, requests to the old id are served by a replacement model\n3. Ask the account owner for a scoped JWT limited to the models and spend the task needs, not the full API key\n4. Stay under 200 concurrent requests per model. On 429 `engine_overloaded`, retry after a delay, or send `models` with up to four fallbacks\n5. Never inspect a JWT with `GET /v1/scoped-jwt?jwtoken=`, which puts the token in the URL. Keep credentials in the `Authorization` header\n\n### Vercel AI Gateway\n\n1. Read `GET https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/models` without a key to pick a model ID and check its price, context, ZDR and no-training flags before calling\n2. Set `zeroDataRetention` or `disallowPromptTraining` to true in `providerOptions.gateway` on sensitive requests. Default routing ignores provider retention and training policies\n3. Treat a 429 as retryable and honour `retry-after` when present. A 402 with `quota_for_entity_exceeded` is a spent budget, so do not retry it\n4. On a Token Pass key, a 403 with `no_providers_available` means spent credit or a model outside the pass. Retry with a standard AI Gateway key, which bills credits\n5. Set `inferenceRegion` when data residency matters. The default `global` may run inference outside the user's jurisdiction\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepInfra or Vercel AI Gateway?\n\nVercel AI Gateway scores 66.7 (B) on agent readiness against DeepInfra's 63 (B), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do DeepInfra and Vercel AI Gateway need an API key?\n\nDeepInfra needs an API key. Vercel AI Gateway takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call DeepInfra and Vercel AI Gateway without installing anything?\n\nYes. DeepInfra has a hosted endpoint at https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai and Vercel AI Gateway at https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepinfra-vs-vercel-ai-gateway.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepinfra-vs-vercel-ai-gateway.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepinfra\", \"b\": \"vercel-ai-gateway\"}`.
