LLM providers

LLM providers are the core entities (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) that develop, host, and offer large language models (GPT-4, Gemini, Claude) via API for enterprise integration.

LLM providers deliver the foundational models that power generative AI applications: they handle the massive training and inference infrastructure. Major players include OpenAI (GPT-4o), Google (Gemini 2.5 Pro), and Anthropic (Claude Opus), alongside cloud platforms like Amazon Bedrock and Microsoft Azure, which offer managed access to a model catalog. Businesses access these models primarily through secure APIs, enabling use cases like advanced customer service, automated code generation, and complex data summarization. The market is highly competitive, focusing on key metrics: lower cost-per-token, ultra-low latency, and expanding context windows (up to 1 million tokens in some models).
