    Brief

    Opportunity to provide a centralised API platform that grants teams access to multiple artificial intelligence models from various independent providers through a single integrated interface. The platform eliminates the need for separate integrations with individual model providers and offers unified account management with consistent security controls. Key requirements include: access to a diverse range of frontier and open-weight AI models; ability to restrict or select model providers based on security and data protection standards; account-level controls for data retention and opt-out from model training; automatic access to newly released models and capabilities; comprehensive usage monitoring, spend tracking and reporting for financial management; reliable service availability with appropriate maintenance and support; technical and account management support for end users; and visibility into model availability, usage metrics and service performance across all providers. The solution should streamline AI model procurement and deployment for organisations seeking flexible, secure access to multiple AI capabilities without managing separate vendor relationships.
