2025: Foundation Models Catalog Presentation

Selectel is expanding its portfolio of AI project solutions and bringing Foundation Models Catalog (FMC), a tool for deploying and managing AI models based on Selectel's cloud infrastructure, to market. The developer announced this on October 8, 2025. This solution simplifies the introduction of artificial intelligence into corporate processes: companies can use LLM (Large Language Models), speech generation systems and other AI tools without complex code development and IT infrastructure configuration to work with them, which reduces barriers to the introduction of new technologies and speeds up the implementation of AI initiatives.

At the start, FMC presents solutions from OpenAI, Alibaba (Qwen), DeepSeek and Mistral AI. Users can choose different parameters and levels of quantization of models to flexibly control the consumption of computing resources and control the cost of their use. Companies can apply these solutions to automate processes and support key business functions: create enterprise AI agents, accelerate code development, generate texts and content, automate sales and customer support through chatbots, and build solutions based on RAG, where the model uses accessible information from internal documents for accurate and relevant responses.

A selection of validated infrastructure configurations is available in the FMC catalog for each model, which eliminates compatibility errors and ensures stable solution operation. Thanks to this, companies can launch AI models quickly and conveniently - without deep expertise in the field of ML, since the solutions are immediately ready for use. Connection is carried out through a personal account: it is enough to select a model, configure parameters and get a dedicated endpoint with its own domain and Internet access. This provides the client with direct access to the model without additional infrastructure settings and simplifies integration with corporate IT systems.

Foundation Models Catalog runs on Selectel's scalable and secure cloud infrastructure, providing a large selection of GPUs for fast launch and high performance AI models. Payment is made only for the actually used computing power, without binding to the number of requests or tokens.

To remain competitive against the backdrop of the rapid development of AI, companies need solutions to quickly introduce new technologies into business processes. We previously introduced the Inference platform for accelerated launch of ML models. Foundation Models Catalog was the logical next step in developing Selectel's portfolio of enterprise AI solutions. Now users can run LLMs from the directory and configure them for specific tasks. This tool is especially relevant for organizations that need to implement AI quickly, safely and without unnecessary costs, "said Alexander Tugov, director of service development at Selectel.

At the first stage, access to FMC is provided to corporate clients on request, in the future the service will become available to all users. The company's immediate plans include the development of Foundation Models Catalog functionality, including support for Custom Inference, creating an interactive environment for testing and choosing optimal models (Playground), launching a platform for AI agents (AI Factory), as well as introducing new tariff plans for users.

Selectel will continue to expand the capabilities of its cloud platform, expanding the GPU range and improving the functionality of services for launching and developing AI projects, creating the conditions for their safe, scalable and efficient use in business.
