Frequently asked questions

Can I run EGM 8B in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs EGM 8B 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 EGM 8B 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 EGM 8B cost?

Via the shared EU router you pay €0.05 per million input tokens and €0.12 per million output tokens, with no fixed costs. For high volume or isolation you can also run EGM 8B 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.
