Frequently asked questions

Can I run DeepSeek V2 Lite in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs DeepSeek V2 Lite 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 DeepSeek V2 Lite 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 DeepSeek V2 Lite cost?

Via the shared EU router you pay €0.15 per million input tokens and €0.25 per million output tokens, with no fixed costs. For high volume or isolation you can also run DeepSeek V2 Lite 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.
