If you use DeepSeek, all your data is sent… TO CHINA! 🇨🇳 😱

You may or may not be concerned about this. After all, the Chinese are really nice people, and you have been buying a lot of hardware and software from Chinese companies already, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!

But everyone who is concerned about data privacy can use a simple solution: DeepSeek hosted on servers within your jurisdiction. The laws of your country (or conglomerate of countries) apply. If those laws are good, they protect your privacy rights well.

The DeepSeek model can run anywhere because it's open source. (Rule of thumb: Cool companies build open source products.) You can take that model and run it in a data center of your choice (or have the data center run it for you).

I gave Nebius AI Studio a try. Nebius is a company in the Netherlands that runs a long list of open source LLMs on their GPUs, including DeepSeek V3 and R1. I connected my Open WebUI instance to their DeepSeek V3 and R1 instances via an OpenAI-compatible protocol. So far, it runs like a charm.

Question to you: Which EU-based AI model hosting providers (preferably with pay-per-token billing) do you know/use/love?

(Nebius are the first I came across after a very exhau^W superficial search, but there are surely others as well. Not that I'd want to switch, though. Their service runs flawlessly.)
