How these alternatives were chosen

Tools Groq names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in AI. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.

Groq also lists AWS SageMaker, Google Cloud Vertex AI, Azure Machine Learning as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
