What you configure
Pricing is hourly only. Per-token is not available for custom images.
How you call it
Managed models use/v1/.... Custom containers are reached without the /v1 prefix:
GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS, and HEAD are proxied. Authenticate with the same API key as other inference.
Reserved first path segments (v1, webhooks, metrics, docs, …) are not custom-container routes.
If the container streams, send Accept: text/event-stream or a JSON body with stream / stream_format.
After launch
The model appears on Models like any other deployment: Usage, Logs, Instances, Configuration, Manage. See Manage models and Autoscaling.Managed launch instead
Hugging Face or artifact, OpenAI-compatible
/v1 endpoints.
