Choose your documentation and edition
The OpenCSG community is an online service. CSGHub is software that can be deployed in your own environment. The online community and CSGHub Community Edition (CE) are different things.
| Environment | Account and infrastructure | Usage and billing | Start here |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenCSG community | Sign in at opencsg.com; the operator provides services | Published service prices and trial allowances apply | Community quickstart |
| CSGHub CE | Use your deployment's address and account; administrators provision resources | Open-source features; infrastructure still has a cost | CSGHub quickstart |
| CSGHub EE | Use your enterprise deployment or SSO | Usage metering, quotas and reports; no platform balance deductions or financial settlement | CSGHub quickstart |
Billing, recharge and invoicing are operating features enabled for a deployment, subject to its configuration and service agreement. See commercial operations.
Both CE and EE have publicly available installation packages for self-service installation. Follow the installation guide or contact technical support. Package availability does not grant access to every enterprise feature.
Regional sites, including the East community, have their own entry points and operating rules. Do not assume credentials or account balances are shared between sites.
Before starting
Confirm the deployment version, edition, enabled components, your personal or organization identity, repository permissions and available compute resources. A model repository does not automatically have a running inference service.
| Address or credential | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Web address | Sign in and manage assets |
| Platform API base URL | SDK and platform API operations; obtain it from your administrator |
| Git HTTPS/SSH URL | Copy the URL and SSH port from the target repository |
| Inference API URL | Copy it from the model service's API instructions |
| Access Token | Git HTTPS, platform API and SDK |
| API Key | Inference gateway calls |
There is currently no unified compatibility table mapping software, SDK, framework images and community releases. Online monthly release notes do not identify the version installed in your deployment. Confirm feature availability before using a guide. Offline deployments require prepared images, models, packages and local dependencies; remote APIs and synchronization still require connectivity. See offline preparation.
