An individual developer uses a variety of open-source AI models accessed via the Global API platform to build and run AI applications including content moderation, sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, chatbots, code generation, and long document processing. They leverage low-cost models like Qwen3-8B and GLM-4-9B for simple classification and preprocessing, DeepSeek V4 Flash for content moderation and chatbots, and DeepSeek V4 Pro for complex reasoning and code generation. This approach avoids vendor lock-in, reduces costs significantly compared to proprietary APIs, and allows flexibility to switch models without code rewrites.
