Selectel has announced a series of updates to its cloud platform, aimed at simplifying access to AI tools and infrastructure for developers and businesses in Russia.
One window for AI models
Selectel's new portal aggregates more than 300 generative models in a single interface. Developers can pick the best model for a task without having to integrate many services separately. Both commercial and open-source models are supported.
Infrastructure expansion
The updates include:
- New virtual machine images in the marketplace
- An updated AI model catalog with versioning
- A new release of SELECTOS (Selectel's operating system)
- The launch of ClickHouse-as-a-service for large-scale analytics
Webinars on using the models in real projects are also planned.
What this means
Selectel positions itself as a local alternative for companies looking for independence from Western cloud platforms when working with AI. A broader catalog and easier access to models lower the barrier to entry for developers.
