Sovereign AI for government and the public sector, with citizen data that stays inside Europe.

Sovereign AI for the public sector

Government organisations process data that must legally stay in the EU, from citizen records to policy documents. HostYourAI runs open models on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM, so citizen data never leaves Europe and there is no US cloud provider in the chain. Digital sovereignty is not an afterthought here, it is the starting point.

Why government hosts its AI in the EU

Citizen data stays inside Europe

All processing happens on European GPUs. There is no US cloud provider in the chain, so you are not exposed to foreign access legislation such as the US CLOUD Act. That aligns with public-sector policy on digital autonomy and data minimisation.

Open weights, no black box

You run open models you can audit. Behaviour is reproducible and verifiable, which fits the transparency and explainability the public sector expects from technology.

A Data Processing Agreement and no training on your data

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Your documents are not used to train models. That keeps you in control of what happens with government data.

What you use AI for in government

Think of summarising policy documents and meeting minutes, answering common citizen questions in plain language, supporting freedom-of-information requests and making internal knowledge searchable with RAG. A staff member always stays in control: the model delivers a draft, not a final decision. Do not use it for automated decisions about citizens.

Government requirements and how HostYourAI meets them

Frameworks such as national baseline security standards and the requirements of the AI Act sit within your own organisation. We provide the technical building blocks that fit: EU processing, a DPA, isolation and transparency.

From pilot to production

Start small with the shared Router and scale to dedicated instances for isolation. Test in the Playground first and track usage per request, so you keep control of cost and behaviour. Then link a knowledge base with your own documents and the Router automatically injects the relevant context, so answers are grounded in your sources instead of general model knowledge.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://hostyourai.com/api/v1",
    api_key="hyai-...",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="llama-3.3-70b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this policy document."}],
    extra_body={"knowledge_base_id": 42},
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Questions about AI in government

Does citizen data stay inside the EU?

Yes. Models run on GPUs in European datacenters and your prompts and outputs never leave the EU. There is no US cloud provider in between.

Does this fit digital sovereignty?

Yes. Open models, EU processing, a public subprocessor list and no lock-in give you autonomy over your AI chain instead of dependency on a US vendor.

Can I use AI for decisions about citizens?

Use AI as support, for example for summaries and drafts. A staff member reviews and decides; do not use it for automated decision-making about individuals.

Does this help with baseline security standards or the AI Act?

We provide the technical building blocks that belong to it: EU processing, a DPA, isolation and transparency. The frameworks themselves run through your own organisation and processes.

Are our documents used to train models?

No. There is no training on your input or output, and open weights do not learn from your traffic.

Can I isolate sensitive workloads?

Yes. Alongside the shared Router you can run a dedicated GPU instance for isolation and predictable performance.

Everything you need for AI

From model hosting to a customer-facing API, it is built for developers and businesses who want their AI running on infrastructure they actually control, inside the EU.

100%
EU-hosted

Your data and your models stay on European GPUs. GDPR-friendly by design.

200+
Verified models, ready to serve

Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, FLUX and plenty more. Pick one and it is warm in minutes, with no DevOps on your end.

2 SDK
OpenAI & Anthropic compatible

Point your existing client at the Router and keep your tools. No rewrite, no lock-in.

From zero to a warm endpoint in minutes

No infra to manage. Pick a model, get an OpenAI-compatible URL, ship.

1

Pick a model

Choose from the Model Garden or paste any HuggingFace ID. Set the VRAM and pick an EU GPU.

2

Get your endpoint

We deploy vLLM, run readiness probes, and hand you a warm OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible URL plus an API key.
