Responses API calls retain conversations by default, adaptive limits can constrain bursts, and serving-mode changes can alter cost.\n\n**Router.com (Ramp Router).** Detailed Markdown docs with typed error codes, per-model capability data and routing an agent can set per request. No OpenAPI document, status page, changelog or published rate limits were found. Signup needs a US business email in a browser, and Ramp records prompts and outputs for a year by default unless switched off.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Fireworks AI Inference\n\n1. Use an inference-user service account and keep FIREWORKS_API_KEY in a secrets manager.\n2. Use https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1 for OpenAI-compatible requests and the complete accounts/fireworks/models identifier.\n3. Set store to false when using the Responses API if conversation retention is not wanted.\n4. Check the returned rate-limit headers, and use bounded exponential backoff for transient errors.\n5. Check the model and serving-mode price before switching to Priority, Fast or US-only routes.\n\n### Router.com (Ramp Router)\n\n1. Switch off content recording in Settings before sending private data. It is on by default and keeps prompts and outputs for a year\n2. Read model ids from `GET /v1/models` at runtime. Ids are account-specific, an unknown one is a 404, and Gemini ids need your own Google key\n3. Use `POST /v1/responses` with a `models` list for fallbacks. Router stops falling back once a stream has started\n4. Set `fallback_timeout` and `provider_timeout`, or `allow_flex_tier: false`, when latency matters. Flex routing is on by default\n5. Treat both `401 invalid_api_key` and `401 api_key_deactivated` as a possibly locked key, and stop retrying on `402`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Fireworks AI Inference or Router.com (Ramp Router)?\n\nFireworks AI Inference scores 73.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Router.com (Ramp Router)'s 54.5 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Fireworks AI Inference and Router.com (Ramp Router) need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Fireworks AI Inference and Router.com (Ramp Router) without installing anything?\n\nYes. Fireworks AI Inference has a hosted endpoint at https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1 and Router.com (Ramp Router) at https://api.router.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fireworks-inference-vs-ramp-router.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fireworks-inference-vs-ramp-router.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"fireworks-inference\", \"b\": \"ramp-router\"}`.
