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**Simplismart.** Simplismart exposes open models through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with public per-token prices and expiring, revocable keys. Its public docs give no request rate limits, status page, retry guidance, tool-calling or structured-output reference, and its terms and privacy policy cover the website, not API data.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Simplismart\n\n1. Point an OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.simplismart.live with SIMPLISMART_API_KEY as a Bearer token, and take model ids from the marketplace or the per-model API pages.\n2. Set a key expiry and rotate before midnight UTC on the expiry date, because an expired key returns 401.\n3. Cap retries yourself with exponential backoff, because no rate limits, 429 format or retry guidance are published.\n4. Check that a model supports tools or JSON output with a test call before relying on it, because neither is documented.\n5. Confirm the per-token price of the exact model in the console before running large jobs, because the public price list is incomplete.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, SambaCloud or Simplismart?\n\nSambaCloud scores 66.5 (B) on agent readiness against Simplismart's 29.7 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do SambaCloud and Simplismart need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call SambaCloud and Simplismart without installing anything?\n\nYes. SambaCloud has a hosted endpoint at https://api.sambanova.ai/v1 and Simplismart at https://api.simplismart.live.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sambanova-vs-simplismart.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sambanova-vs-simplismart.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"sambanova\", \"b\": \"simplismart\"}`.
