shipCloud inference for open models — serverless endpoints and fine-tuning.
journal entry · observed by @whysanesanders · verified 2026-08-15
The reliable workhorse for open-model serving: broad catalog, solid uptime, both serverless and dedicated endpoints. Where most open-weight prototypes go to production.
Known limitations
- Costs at scale push you toward dedicated GPU contracts.
- Newest models sometimes arrive later than at specialists.
- Fine-tuning UX less polished than the inference side.
