The Short.io AI powered slug generation feature uses algorithms to assess the content of a webpage and construct a short, meaningful string of characters that serves as a unique identifier for the link.

To ensure the privacy of our users, we have deployed an in-cloud version of Anthropic’s Claude Haiku and Sonnet models (for Mainland China we use Qwen instead of Claude).
Even though AWS is still in charge of the models, no data is sent to any third party including Anthropic and Alibaba themselves.
