Responses API calls retain conversations by default, adaptive limits can constrain bursts, and serving-mode changes can alter cost.\n\n**SambaCloud.** Per-token prices and the model list are readable without a key at `/v1/models`, and a free tier needs no card. Production models get two to three weeks' notice before removal, 13 model ids left between March and June 2026, and the docs disagree with the live catalogue on MiniMax-M2.7.\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### SambaCloud\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.sambanova.ai/v1/models` at start-up and use only ids it returns. The docs name models the endpoint no longer lists\n2. Read `x-ratelimit-remaining-requests` and `x-ratelimit-remaining-requests-day` on every response. The free tier allows 20 requests a day per model\n3. Treat 429 `queue_full` and 503 `maintenance` as retryable after a delay, and 410 `model_deprecated` as a signal to change model\n4. Validate JSON output yourself. Schema enforcement is best effort and `strict: true` changes nothing\n5. Check `max_completion_tokens` per model. DeepSeek-V3.1 caps output at 7,168 tokens and Llama 3.3 70B at 3,072\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Fireworks AI Inference or SambaCloud?\n\nFireworks AI Inference scores 73.5 (BB) on agent readiness against SambaCloud's 66.4 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. SambaCloud leads on reliability and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Fireworks AI Inference and SambaCloud need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Fireworks AI Inference and SambaCloud without installing anything?\n\nYes.
