Frequently asked questions

Can I run paza whisper large v3 turbo in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs paza whisper large v3 turbo 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 paza whisper large v3 turbo 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 paza whisper large v3 turbo cost?

paza whisper large v3 turbo 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.
