 - **`AICore` CDS Service** - Exposes resource groups, deployments, and configurations as CDS entities with full CRUD support
 - **Multi-Tenancy** - Automatic per-tenant resource group creation/deletion on subscribe/unsubscribe
-- **RPT-1 Deployment Management** - Auto-creates configurations and deployments for the SAP-RPT-1 model
-- **Prediction Client** - `AIClient` interface for calling the RPT-1 prediction API with retry and backoff
+- **Deployment Management** - Auto-creates configurations and deployments for AI Core models with retry and backoff
+- **Inference Client Factory** - Provides ready-to-use `ApiClient` instances scoped to a deployment for downstream foundation-model SDKs
 - **Mock Fallback** - When no AI Core binding is detected, a mock implementation enables local development
