Key features of Nebius AI Studio include:
- Higher value at a competitive price. The platform’s pricing is up to 50% lower than other big-name providers, offering unparalleled cost-efficiency for GenAI builders
- Batch inference processing power: the platform enables processing of up to 5 million requests per file –
–a hundred-fold increase over industry norms ––while supporting massive file sizes up to 10 GB. Gen AI app builders are equipped to process entire datasets with support for 500 files per user simultaneously for large scale AI operations. - Open source model access: Nebius AI Studio supports a wide range of cutting-edge open-source AI models including the Llama and Mistral families, as well as specialist LLMs such as OpenbioLLM. Nebius’ flagship hosted model, Meta’s Llama-3.1-405B, offers performance comparable to GPT-4 at far lower cost.
- High rate limits: Nebius AI Studio offers up to 10 million tokens per minute (TPM), with additional headroom for scaling based on workload demands. This robust throughput capacity ensures consistent performance, even during peak demand, allowing AI builders to handle large volumes of real-time predictions with ease and efficiency.
- User-friendly interface: The Playground side- by- side comparison feature allows builders to test and compare different models without writing code, view APIs code to achieve seamless integration, and adjust generation parameters to fine-tune outputs
- Dual-flavor approach: Nebius AI Studio offers a dual-flavor approach for optimizing performance and cost. The fast flavor delivers blazing speed for real-time applications, while the base flavor maximizes cost-efficiency for less time-sensitive tasks.
