- Deploys models as HTTP endpoints and monitors data and concept drift
- AI Quick Actions support importing, fine-tuning, evaluating, and deploying LLMs
Where it doesn't
- Usage charges depend on underlying OCI infrastructure, not a fixed standalone price
- Verified integrations center on OCI services
- Cloud-only deployment may not suit teams seeking another deployment model
