Every model on the SLNG platform works through the Unified API. Some run on SLNG infrastructure (SLNG-hosted), others are proxied to the provider’s own API.
SLNG-hosted models use the slng/ prefix in the model identifier. They are optimized for low latency in specific regions and billed through your SLNG account with no separate provider account needed.
