It is a free public beta with unpublished daily limits and no per-token price, reasoning can't be turned off, and three API incidents were posted between 14 and 16 October 2026.\n\n**SambaCloud.**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### Beam 1.0\n\n1. Send `reasoning_effort` `low` or `medium` for short tasks. The default is `max`, and `none` or `minimal` return `400 unsupported_value`\n2. Return every assistant message with its `reasoning_content` unchanged. If a turn comes back without it, start a new conversation, since later requests fail with `missing_required_parameter`\n3. Don't rely on `stop` or `seed`. Both are accepted and ignored, so truncate output in your own code\n4. Honour `x-should-retry: false` on a 429. It means a daily limit is spent and `Retry-After` counts to 00:00 UTC\n5. Set `max_completion_tokens` yourself on long prompts. The default budget isn't reduced to fit the prompt and includes reasoning tokens\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, Beam 1.0 or SambaCloud?\n\nSambaCloud scores 66.4 (B) on agent readiness against Beam 1.0's 53.4 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Beam 1.0 leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Beam 1.0 and SambaCloud need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Beam 1.0 and SambaCloud without installing anything?\n\nYes. Beam 1.0 has a hosted endpoint at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1 and SambaCloud at https://api.sambanova.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/reflection-beam-vs-sambanova.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/reflection-beam-vs-sambanova.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"reflection-beam\", \"b\": \"sambanova\"}`.
