These products provide API gateways, proxies, and inference runtimes that standardize access to third-party generative models. Developers use them to route requests, manage access, and implement OpenAI-compatible endpoints across various text, image, and video models. This cluster is distinguished by its specific focus on model access infrastructure and API translation rather than full-stack development platforms.
