# Deployment overview

> Choose the right way to access Bioptimus models.

Bioptimus models are available several ways. The on-premise and SageMaker options share the same JSON API and are both supported by the [Bioptimus SDK](/guides/get-started/sdk), so your inference code is portable between them. Proscia is a partner-operated path for slides already in a Concentriq® LS workspace.
