No machine payment. USDC top-ups go to a prepaid balance.\n\n**Together AI Inference.** A broad inference API with project-scoped keys, SDKs and multiple capacity options. Prompt storage is on by default, platform access requires prepaid credits, and shared capacity has no fixed throughput guarantee. Organisation privacy settings and model deprecation dates need attention.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### OpenRouter\n\n1. Set `provider.data_collection: \"deny\"` or `provider.zdr: true` when the prompt holds anything private\n2. Pass a `models` list so a failed provider falls through to the next one\n3. Honour `Retry-After` on 429 and 503, and check the stream body for errors even on a 200\n4. Set `max_price` so a routed request can't land on an expensive provider\n5. Free models allow 50 requests a day until $10 of credit has been bought. Check `GET /api/v1/key` for what's left\n\n### Together AI Inference\n\n1. Create a project-scoped key and set TOGETHER_API_KEY. Avoid deprecated legacy keys.\n2. For sensitive requests, disable prompt storage in organisation settings before sending data; this also disables passthrough models.\n3. Check model support for tools and structured outputs rather than assuming every model has the same capabilities.\n4. Back off on 429 and 503 responses. Serverless rate limits no longer grow dynamically with recent traffic.\n5. Check the deprecation schedule before choosing a model; Llama 3.3 70B Turbo is scheduled to leave serverless on 22 October 2026.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, OpenRouter or Together AI Inference?\n\nOpenRouter and Together AI Inference score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 68.5 (B) and 67.8 (B).
