Frequently asked questions

Can I run AquilaChat2 7B in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs AquilaChat2 7B 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 AquilaChat2 7B 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 AquilaChat2 7B cost?

AquilaChat2 7B is available on request: through the shared EU router after a quick chat, or as your own dedicated GPU deployment billed per hour. Tell us your use case and we will set it up for 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.
