API keys carry no scopes and can delete the account, rental creation has no idempotency key, and renting needs a browser signup and a $5 deposit.\n\n**Runpod.** Per-second billing across more than a dozen serverless GPU classes, H100 at $4.79 and A100 80 GB at $2.72 an hour. Data-centre outages of 6 to 24 hours in each of July, August and September 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hyperbolic\n\n1. Read `GET /v2/on-demand/rental-options` first. It needs no key and lists what can be rented now, with `costPerHourCents` per GPU configuration.\n2. Send `rentalType` and `gpuCount` to `POST /v2/on-demand/rentals`. Region defaults to `us-central-1` and GPU type to `h100`, so set both from the options list.\n3. List active rentals before retrying a failed create call. There is no idempotency key and every ready rental bills hourly.\n4. Save an SSH public key with `POST /v2/ssh-keys` before renting. Without `sshPublicKeyIds` the newest saved key is attached.\n5. Do not create reserved rentals unless asked. They are paid in full up front and cannot be terminated early.\n\n### Runpod\n\n1. Create a Restricted or Read Only key per endpoint for the agent, not an All key\n2. Use REST v2 at api.runpod.io/v2 with a Bearer header; avoid GraphQL, which puts the key in the URL\n3. Fetch `/run` results within 30 minutes and `/runsync` results within 1 minute, or they're gone\n4. Call `/retry` on a failed job ID rather than submitting a duplicate job\n5. Check `/health` before relying on an endpoint idle for a week, since max workers drop to 0\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hyperbolic or Runpod?\n\nRunpod scores 53.5 (D) on agent readiness against Hyperbolic's 48 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Hyperbolic leads on reliability and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Hyperbolic and Runpod need an API key?\n\nHyperbolic needs an API key. Runpod takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Hyperbolic and Runpod without installing anything?\n\nYes. Hyperbolic has a hosted endpoint at https://api.hyperbolic.ai and Runpod at https://api.runpod.ai/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hyperbolic-vs-runpod.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hyperbolic-vs-runpod.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"hyperbolic\", \"b\": \"runpod\"}`.
