Frequently asked questions

Can I run granite embedding 30m sparse in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs granite embedding 30m sparse 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 30m sparse 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 30m sparse cost?

granite embedding 30m sparse needs several GPUs at once, so it runs as a dedicated deployment billed per GPU-hour 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.

granite guardian 4.1 8b

Granite Guardian 4.1 8B introduces improved Bring Your Own Criteria (BYOC) support, enabling users to define arbitrary judging criteria beyond the pre-baked safety and hallucination detectors. The model can now faithfully evaluate complex, multi-part requirements such as formatting rules, length constraints, and domain-specific instructions.

granite vision 4.1 4b

Model Summary: Granite Vision 4.1 4B is a vision-language model (VLM) that delivers frontier-level performance on structured document extraction tasks — chart extraction, table extraction, and semantic key-value pair extraction — in a compact 4B parameter footprint, providing a lightweight alternative to much larger frontier models for these tasks:

granite speech 4.1 2b plus

Granite-Speech-4.1-2B-Plus has similar capabilities to the Granite-Speech-4.1-2B model. The plus model adds two new community-requested rich transcription features that can be activated with a simple prompt change: speaker-attributed ASR (speaker labels and word transcripts) and word-level timing information. Unlike the base mode, the plus model doesn't provide punctuation and capitalization.

granite 4.1 30b

Model Summary: Granite-4.1-30B is a 30B parameter long-context instruct model finetuned from Granite-4.1-30B-Base using a combination of open source instruction datasets with permissive license and internally collected synthetic datasets. Granite 4.1 models have gone through an improved post-training pipeline, including supervised finetuning and reinforcement learning alignment, resulting in enhanced tool calling, instruction following, and chat capabilities.

granite 4.1 8b base

Model Summary: Granite‑4.1‑8B‑Base is a decoder‑only language model with long‑context capabilities, designed to support a broad range of text‑to‑text generation tasks. In addition to standard generation, it supports Fill‑in‑the‑Middle (FIM) code completion through specialized prefix and suffix tokens. The model is trained from scratch on approximately 15 trillion tokens using a five‑phase training strategy: 10 trillion tokens in phase one, 2 trillion tokens each in phases two and three, and 0.5 trillion tokens in phase four. In the final phase, long‑context extension is applied to expand the m
