Build on a hosted model API

Call hosted language models from an application, billed per token, without running the models yourself. 118 products across 99 companies in the Ludbee catalogue carry this task — spanning every layer of the stack that exists here, not one of its own: 28 Application, 33 Infrastructure, 34 Foundation Models, 4 Hardware.

What this page does not claim

This list carries no score and no recommendation, and one order only: inside each layer, a company whose product for this task is marked AI feature — sold for another job, with AI as one function its own page names — comes after the rest, A–Z within each. The standing rule that applies to the whole directory applies here too: no payment changes a figure, a ranking or the order of any list, this one included. Nor can it yet say what governs any of these products once deployed — what data they can reach, what they are certified against, whether a vendor trains on what you send it. That field is defined in the ontology and is populated on none of the 3,888 products in the catalogue yet, so a page that leaned on it would be promising an answer the data cannot back. It will say so here the day that changes.
