Listed model support includes SAM-family models, YOLO, Qwen2.5-VL, LayoutLMv3, SAM 3D, Autodistill, RLHF, and bring-your-own models. The service connects with AWS S3, Google Cloud, Azure, local storage, Roboflow, and Google Vision OCR. Its REST API has 110+ secure endpoints, and a Python SDK manages projects, files, assignments, and exports.
