It is a free public beta with unpublished daily limits and no per-token price, reasoning can't be turned off, and three API incidents were posted between 14 and 16 October 2026.\n\n**SiliconFlow.** Per-token prices for every listed model are public, and one key reaches chat, embeddings, reranking, image, video and speech through OpenAI-style and Anthropic-style routes. No status page, SLA, security page or official SDK was found, release notes stop at 11 June 2026, and several model removals are dated the same day as their notice.\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### SiliconFlow\n\n1. Set the OpenAI client's base URL to `https://api.siliconflow.com/v1`, or the Anthropic client's to `https://api.siliconflow.com/`, and send the key as a Bearer token\n2. Take model ids from the model pages or `GET /v1/models`, not from the OpenAPI enum or the function calling guide, which list removed models\n3. Check the `model` field of each response. On 11 June 2026 traffic for GLM-5 and Kimi-K2.5 was routed to successor models\n4. Use `response_format` of `json_object` only where the model page says JSON Mode is supported, and keep `max_tokens` about 10,000 below the context length\n5. Set the Claude Code environment variables by hand. The automated route pipes a script from an Amazon S3 bucket into bash\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Beam 1.0 or SiliconFlow?\n\nBeam 1.0 scores 53.4 (D) on agent readiness against SiliconFlow's 46.7 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. SiliconFlow leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Beam 1.0 and SiliconFlow need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Beam 1.0 and SiliconFlow without installing anything?\n\nYes. Beam 1.0 has a hosted endpoint at https://api.reflection.ai/openai/v1 and SiliconFlow at https://api.siliconflow.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/reflection-beam-vs-siliconflow.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/reflection-beam-vs-siliconflow.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"reflection-beam\", \"b\": \"siliconflow\"}`.
