Question

Hi Ultralytics Support Team,

I was hoping you could clarify something for me. Are foundation models available to use directly through your inference API, or is the process designed for users to host/train their own models first and then upload them to your infrastructure for use via the inference API? Can you guide me through a relevant documentation?

Thank you for your help!
