Governance & continuity6

Continuity policy

Serverless models are rotated off when demand drops, typically with a deprecations page and short notice measured in weeks. Because everything served is open-weight, the mitigation is always available: move to a dedicated endpoint on the same platform, to another host, or onto your own GPUs with the same checkpoint.
