Бизнесу, разработчикам и продуктовым командам уже недостаточно подключить одну нейросеть и считать задачу закрытой. Для текста лучше подходит одна модель, для кода — другая, для изображений — третья, для видео, аудио, 3D и эмбеддингов — отдельные классы решений. Поэтому на первый план выходит не просто API нейросеть, а единый слой доступа, где можно управлять разными моделями через один понятный интерфейс, один баланс и один набор правил интеграции.AI API ключ нужен,...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian: Walking into Mexico City's sprawling central Zocalo is a dizzying experience. At one end of the plaza, the capital's cathedral, with its soaring spires, slumps in one direction. An attached church, known as the Metropolitan Sanctuary, tilts in the other. The nearby National Palace also seems off-kilter. The teetering of many of the capital's historic buildings is the most visible sign... Read more ›
