Algorithm & AI Model Options

narrow

Basic standardization algorithm. Very fast for very high volume requirements, but less accurate than AI-powered options.

ai-plus

AI-enhanced standardization. Better accuracy in standardization than narrow, with good performance.

ai-medium

Best accuracy results for city name standardization. Recommended algorithm for most cases, but API response can take a little bit longer to traverse our models.
