🛠 Cloud·ru Adds External LLMs to Foundation Models Service

Cloud.ru has expanded its Foundation Models service by adding access to external LLMs through a single API. More than 50 models are now available in the catalog, including families from Alibaba, DeepSeek (V4-Pro, R1), Z.ai (GLM-5.2), MiniMax, and GigaChat. A Guardrails tool has been integrated to ensure data protection.

🌍 This creates a local alternative to services like OpenRouter, allowing Russian companies to utilize cutting-edge global models through a single entry point while complying with security and regulatory requirements (152-FZ).

👤 Users can switch between top neural networks for coding, reasoning, or long-context tasks within a single cloud provider, without worrying about the complexities of payment and integrating multiple different APIs.
