Restricted Models
Restricted models are like "VIP areas" of models, requiring special permissions to use. These models may have access restrictions due to security, privacy, or commercial reasons. Just like needing an invitation to enter certain places, using restricted models also requires applying and getting approval.

Paid Services: The development cost of models is high, and charging is needed to maintain the service and provide better technical support.
Enterprise-Exclusive: Customized for enterprises, including business secrets, and require signing a non-disclosure agreement.
