An artificial intelligence model preview lets users test a model during an early or provisional release stage. The provider may change capability, rate limits, pricing, identity, documentation or availability before a stable launch.
Previews are useful for exploration and independent evaluation but require cautious data and dependency choices. Production adoption needs a fallback and should wait for evidence about reliability, support, security and contractual terms.
