  * Google Vertex AI
  * Mistral AI
  * Open-source models (self-hosted or cloud)
* Manages model selection, optimization, and fallback strategies
* Handles multimodal capabilities where supported

### 3. Gen.AI Platform Layer (AI Products & Builder)

* Provides user-facing products and development tools
* Implements RAG, agentic workflows, and advanced integrations
* Enables no-code, low-code, and full-code development paths
