EU Router

Fireworks AI Alternative in Europe

Fast inference on open models does not have to come from the US. Run the same models close by, on European GPUs.

Fireworks AI built its reputation on a single promise: the fastest inference for generative AI. The company invests heavily in its own serving stack, and the benchmark numbers show it. If tokens per second were the only metric, the story would end there.

Yet European teams keep moving away from it, and almost never because it was too slow. The reason is nearly always the same: Fireworks is a US company, and the moment a customer, a DPO or a tender asks for European data processing, the conversation stalls. HostYourAI serves the same kind of open models from GPUs in European datacenters, behind an API your existing code already understands.

Where Fireworks AI is genuinely strong

Start with what is true about the positioning. Fireworks delivers serious speed on popular open models and offers fine-tuning, so a customised model can be served straight away. The developer experience is polished. For a US product with US users there is little reason to look further.

For a European product the calculation changes, for two reasons: physics and law.

Speed is more than tokens per second

The latency your user feels has two parts: how fast the model generates tokens and how long the request spends on the wire. A round trip from Amsterdam to a US datacenter easily costs 80 to 120 milliseconds before a single token exists. For streaming chat that means a visibly slower first token.

Run the model in a European datacenter and most of that network cost disappears. With vLLM as the serving layer on modern GPUs, generation speed is solid too. For European end users, "close and fast enough" often beats "far away and very fast" in practice.

    model="llama-3.3-70b",
    messages=[{"role":"user","content":"Hallo!"}])

The compliance side

US law follows the provider

A US provider falls under the US CLOUD Act wherever the data sits. Since Schrems II, that is exactly the lens privacy lawyers apply to transfers to US parties, and contract language does not resolve it.

GDPR without a transfer annex

If your prompts never leave the EU, there is no international transfer to justify. HostYourAI provides a DPA, publishes its subprocessors and never trains on customer data. Your records of processing get one clean line.

Residency you can demonstrate

All inference runs in European datacenters, operated by a Dutch company, with no US cloud in the chain. Your residency requirement needs no footnote.

How HostYourAI works

Use the shared Router for pay-per-token access to open models such as Llama, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek and GLM, or spin up a dedicated GPU instance that runs your model exclusively on vLLM. The API is OpenAI compatible, including SSE streaming, and a /v1/messages endpoint covers teams on the Anthropic SDK. Billing is prepaid with a 99.9% SLA on the platform. Browse the model catalog and the pricing page for the details.

Switch in three steps

  1. Generate a hyai- key in the dashboard after registering and topping up.
  2. Change your base URL to https://hostyourai.com/api/v1; the rest of your integration stays put.
  3. Test your model. Pick a comparable open model from the catalog and compare output and latency in the Playground.
from openai import OpenAI

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

stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen-2.5-32b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Rewrite this error message for end users."}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")

Questions about a Fireworks AI alternative

Is HostYourAI as fast as Fireworks?

On raw tokens per second, a specialised US stack sometimes wins. Add the network latency from Europe and the difference end users feel is often small or even reversed. Testing takes minutes in the Playground.

Do I need to rewrite my code?

No. The endpoint is OpenAI compatible with streaming. You change the base URL, the key and the model name.

Can I bring a fine-tuned model?

Yes, on a dedicated instance. HostYourAI does not offer fine-tuning itself, but open weights trained elsewhere deploy with vLLM inside the EU.

How is usage billed?

Prepaid credit, per token on the Router or per hour on a dedicated instance. No subscription and nothing running when you are idle, thanks to scale-to-zero.

What happens to my prompts?

They are processed in European datacenters and never used for training. A DPA is available and the subprocessor list is public.
