Private instances bill set-up and idle time, H100 at $5.49 an hour.\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### Replicate Deployments\n\n1. List `GET /v1/hardware` first and use the returned `sku` in the deployment body\n2. Set `min_instances` to 0 for bursty work; a warm H100 bills $5.49 an hour whether called or not\n3. Send `Prefer: wait` on deployment predictions to block instead of polling\n4. Copy outputs within an hour; API prediction data is deleted after that\n5. Wait for the reset time in the 429 body before retrying; prediction creates cap at 600 a minute\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, Replicate Deployments or Verda?\n\nReplicate Deployments scores 63.6 (B) on agent readiness against Verda's 62.3 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Verda leads on security \u0026 auth and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Replicate Deployments and Verda need an API key?\n\nReplicate Deployments needs an API key. Verda uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Replicate Deployments and Verda without installing anything?\n\nYes. Replicate Deployments has a hosted endpoint at https://api.replicate.com/v1 and Verda at https://api.verda.com/v1.\n\n### Are Replicate Deployments and Verda open source?\n\nReplicate Deployments is open source (Apache-2.0).
