Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires proprietary closed-source model with vendor support contracts
  • User needs commercial SaaS API with managed hosting and guaranteed uptime SLAs
  • User lacks GPU infrastructure or technical expertise to deploy and run models locally
  • User requires real-time inference at scale without managing compute resources
  • User needs model fine-tuning with vendor-provided training infrastructure and support
