Commonly confused with
A managed gateway to models from several vendors inside one cloud, which makes it comparable with Azure's OpenAI service and Google's Vertex rather than with the model providers themselves. Two consequences follow: the model you reach is the vendor's, but the contract, region, billing and compliance posture are the cloud's — and feature parity with the vendor's own API commonly lags, so a capability available direct may not be available here yet.
