Frequently asked questions

Can I run Qwen2 0.5B in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs Qwen2 0.5B 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 Qwen2 0.5B 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 Qwen2 0.5B cost?

Via the shared EU router you pay €0.03 per million input tokens and €0.06 per million output tokens, with no fixed costs. For high volume or isolation you can also run Qwen2 0.5B as a dedicated hourly GPU instance.

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.
