On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
choose hosted API, private endpoint, or self-hosted against data, latency, and cost.
Planned topics
- Hosted API: fastest to start and strong models; data leaves your boundary, so check provider terms.
- Private endpoint: provider model in your cloud tenancy network; better control, similar models, may cost more.
- Self-hosted: full control and fixed hardware cost; you run capacity, updates, and safety; model quality may be lower.
- Decide from data class, latency target, volume, and team skills; verify current provider terms before deciding.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
a decision table with three options against data sensitivity, latency, cost shape (per use vs fixed), and operations load.
Check your understanding
