Model API or platform domains
13 services, 26 domains. Traffic to a model API usually comes from software, a script or an agent calling the model, not from a person in a browser. The next step is finding which application makes the calls.

Block or allow the whole category
One list for the whole category. Most teams approve one or two services and block the rest, so remove the ones you approve before using it.
Plain domain list
One domain per line. Most DNS filters, secure web gateways and firewalls accept this for custom lists; set the list to include subdomains.
