OVHcloud

OVHcloud is a French, publicly listed cloud infrastructure company — one of the largest cloud providers headquartered in Europe — and its AI Endpoints product is a serverless, pay-per-use inference API for open-weight models (Llama, Mistral and others), hosted entirely in OVHcloud's own European data centers. Like IONOS and Scaleway, it targets the same OpenAI-compatible base-URL swap as Groq or OpenRouter, but every request stays under EU/French jurisdiction with no dependency on a US hyperscaler. OVHcloud also rents bare GPU instances for teams that want to run their own serving stack (vLLM, Ollama) rather than a managed endpoint. For a research institute, the appeal is that OVHcloud is a large, independently audited European company with a two-decade infrastructure track record — not a startup betting its first funding round on GDPR compliance.
