How to Choose the Best AI Models & Developer Platforms

Developer platforms give you access to AI models through APIs or downloadable weights. You send prompts or data, the model returns completions, embeddings, images or audio, and you build that capability into your own products. ML platforms add tools to fine-tune, evaluate and deploy models at scale.
