Selectel Opens Access to 300+ AI Models Through Unified Portal
Selectel, a Russian cloud computing provider, presented a package of updates in June-July 2026. The centerpiece: a single gateway to access more than 300 generative AI models via the portal. The company also replenished its VM image marketplace, refreshed the AI model catalog, released a new SELECTOS version, and launched ClickHouse-as-a-service for analytics.

Selectel announced a series of updates to its cloud platform aimed at simplifying access to AI tools and infrastructure for developers and enterprises in Russia.
Unified Window for AI Models
Selectel's new portal aggregates more than 300 generative models in a single interface. This allows developers to choose the optimal model for their task without needing to integrate multiple services separately. Both commercial and open-source models are supported.
Infrastructure Expansion
Updates include:
- New virtual machine images in the marketplace
- Updated AI model catalog with versioning
- Release of a new version of SELECTOS (Selectel operating system)
- Launch of ClickHouse-as-a-service for large-scale analytics
Webinars on applying models in real projects are also planned.
What This Means
Selectel positions itself as a local alternative for companies seeking independence from Western cloud platforms when working with AI. Expanding the catalog and simplifying access to models reduces barriers to entry for developers.
