Frequently asked questions

Can I run Phi tiny MoE instruct in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs Phi tiny MoE instruct 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 Phi tiny MoE instruct 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 Phi tiny MoE instruct cost?

Phi tiny MoE instruct 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.

UserRepGen 4B

UserRepGen-4B is a fine-tuned Qwen3.5-4B language model that generates a structured, natural-language user representation from a multi-turn user-assistant conversation. Each representation contains a task description and a behavior description for a user, and is intended to condition a separate LLM-based user simulator.
