Machines belong to independent hosts, prices move with the market, rate-limit thresholds are unpublished, and there is no SLA or free tier.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Koyeb\n\n1. Pass `dry_run` on service create or update to validate the definition before anything deploys\n2. Page service lists with `limit` and `offset` and filter by `statuses` instead of fetching everything\n3. Expect the first request after deep sleep to take 1 to 5 seconds and retry once with a timeout\n4. Set `--min-scale 0` on GPU services so idle instances stop billing\n5. Re-check the Mistral transition before building anything long-lived on it\n\n### Vast.ai\n\n1. Create a scoped key with `vastai create api-key --permissions` for the agent. A default key has full account access, billing and key management included\n2. Pass `--raw` on every CLI command for JSON output, and `-y` on `vastai destroy instance`, which otherwise waits for a confirmation prompt\n3. Register an SSH key with `vastai create ssh-key` before creating an instance, or the host is unreachable\n4. Destroy instances when finished. A stopped instance still bills storage, and a zero balance without a saved card leads to deletion\n5. Back off on HTTP 429 yourself when calling REST directly. The CLI retries 429 three times from 0.15 seconds\n6. Filter searches with `verified=true` or the Secure Cloud option for sensitive data, and set a `dph_total` price cap\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Koyeb or Vast.ai?\n\nVast.ai scores 62.6 (B) on agent readiness against Koyeb's 46.5 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Can an agent call Koyeb and Vast.ai without installing anything?\n\nYes.
