Aleph Alpha (Pharia)

Aleph Alpha is a German AI company headquartered in Heidelberg that builds 'specialised large language models for a sovereign Europe', aimed at enterprises and government — including critical use cases. Its current models are the Pharia-1-LLM-7B family, offered for on-premise or private-cloud deployment rather than a self-serve API; there is no public per-token price list (contact sales). It is GDPR-compliant with a German data-protection officer, and emphasises transparency and data sovereignty. For a German SME where data sovereignty is the hard requirement, it is the local, EU-jurisdiction option — the trade-off is enterprise onboarding rather than an instant API key.
