The status page lists 14 major incidents between 14 July and 8 October 2026, no request rate limits were found, and signup needs a browser and a card.\n\n**Verda.** The REST API has a public OpenAPI 3.1 document, a dated changelog, published rate limits with `Retry-After`, and an audit log endpoint. The CLI's MCP server refuses billed or destructive calls without `confirm: true`. Access needs a browser signup and a prepaid balance, credentials carry one scope, and instance creation has no idempotency key.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Nebius AI Cloud\n\n1. Use a service account with an authorised key, then exchange a five-minute RS256 JWT at `https://auth.eu.nebius.com/oauth2/token/exchange` for a 12-hour Bearer token\n2. Send `X-Idempotency-Key` with a random UUID on every create, update and delete, since a 504 can follow a call that succeeded\n3. Poll the returned operation (`/ai/v1/endpoints/operations/{id}`) until `status` is set; concurrent operations on one resource are not supported\n4. Stop or delete endpoints when idle. A stopped endpoint bills nothing, a stopped Devlab or VM still bills for its disk\n5. Check region support first. Serverless AI is absent from `eu-south1` and `us-north1`, and each GPU platform exists in one to four regions\n6. Run the beta `nebius/mcp-server` with safe mode on (the default); `nebius_cli_execute` can run any CLI command when `SAFE_MODE=false`\n\n### Verda\n\n1. Exchange the client ID and secret at `POST /v1/oauth2/token`, then send the access token as a Bearer header. It expires after 3,600 seconds, so refresh it.\n2. Send `location_code` on every create call. Requests without it have returned 400 since March 2026.\n3. Call `GET /v1/instance-availability` before launching. `POST /v1/instances` returns 503 `service_unavailable` when the location has no capacity.\n4. List instances before retrying a failed launch, because create has no idempotency key.\n5. Use the `delete` action to stop charges. `shutdown` keeps billing, and deleted volumes stay recoverable for 96 hours unless `delete_permanently` is set.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Nebius AI Cloud or Verda?\n\nNebius AI Cloud scores 67.2 (B) on agent readiness against Verda's 62.3 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Verda leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Nebius AI Cloud and Verda need an API key?\n\nNebius AI Cloud takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Verda uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Nebius AI Cloud and Verda without installing anything?\n\nYes. Nebius AI Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.nebius.cloud and Verda at https://api.verda.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nebius-ai-cloud-vs-verda.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nebius-ai-cloud-vs-verda.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nebius-ai-cloud\", \"b\": \"verda\"}`.
