NEAR AI Cloud's approach to serving AI models means it provides access to open-weight models without additional censorship layers beyond what the model itself imposes. Users get the output directly from the model, whether it's trained to be uncensored or not.
“It's as uncensored as the model. So we are serving open-weight models, right? So deep seeks and GLMs and kind of, you know, GMI, et cetera. So whatever is in that model, you get that, right? Okay. No more, no less.”
“Near AI has kind of stripped out all of the like system prompts that OpenAI and Anthropic might filter before your prompt actually lands at the model.”
