Why restrict model usage in your organization?

Limiting the models available to your developers can help control spend on models and meet your governance, data security, and compliance requirements.

If you don't manage access, your teams may inadvertently use models that do not meet your organization’s standards, leading to potential risks such as:

• Unexpected costs from high-priced models
• Security or compliance issues caused by unauthorized AI services
• Time wasted integrating unapproved or suboptimal models

For more information about using models at scale, see AUTOTITLE.
