Bench index

Bench is our quality index for every model, 0 to 100. It rests on public measurements (Epoch AI with about 40 benchmarks, LiveBench, LMArena and more) and is refreshed every morning. Where nobody measures, it shows an estimate with a range.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I run granite embedding 278m multilingual in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs granite embedding 278m multilingual on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting granite embedding 278m multilingual GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does granite embedding 278m multilingual cost?

granite embedding 278m multilingual needs several GPUs at once, so it runs as a dedicated deployment billed per GPU minute rather than per token. Tell us your volume and we will work it out with you.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.
