Functions

abstract fun classify(request: ClassificationRequest): ClassificationResult

Classify text using only the request's category domain, returning evidence rather than routing policy.

open fun classify(input: String, spec: ClassificationSpec): ClassificationResult

Classifies text with a spec. Same as calling classify with ClassificationRequest.of(input, spec).

open fun infoString(verbose: Boolean?, indent: Int): String

open fun metadata(): ClassificationServiceMetadata

Copy public model identity into pure metadata before serialization. This snapshot contains no live client, credentials, or implementation discriminator. Serializing the live service itself is outside this contract; use this method even when the service is viewed as ModelMetadata.
