📖What it means
The company serving a model — the vendor behind a subscription. Providers matter for the rate card and for outage handling; they never appear in a budget limit.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Subscription
One provider can back several subscriptions; the subscription is the account, the provider is the company.
Not: Model
The provider serves the model; the model is the thing that answers.
