Frequently asked questions
Can I run MAI DS R1 in the EU?
Yes. HostYourAI runs MAI DS R1 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 MAI DS R1 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 MAI DS R1 cost?
MAI DS R1 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.
