Any GPU provider works. The sponsorship link is passive: it does not invoke an RFQ, reserve capacity, provision compute, or configure serving. Separately, the opt-in <code>ecc ito find</code> bridge invokes the explicitly configured canonical Itô CLI and submits a live authenticated RFQ; it does not reserve capacity. Managed inference through Itô is not live yet.</sub>
