Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs dedicated enterprise support with SLA commitments not available through open-source channels
  • User operates in highly regulated industries requiring specific model audit trails and certification that open-source models may not provide
  • User requires real-time, guaranteed uptime infrastructure without managing their own deployment
  • User needs models optimized exclusively for non-English languages without multilingual capabilities
