I really want to use tools like Claude Code or self written agents (LangGraph) with top notch models without relying on US clouds or buying 5-10k€ hardware.
I had a look at Scaleway, IONOS and OVHcloud, but they all only offer the same outdated medium size models like gpt-oss-120b, llama-3.3:70b, Qwen3:32b. Scaleway at least just recently added Qwen3.5:397b.
The best I could find so far seems Nebius. The problem here: they do offer MiniMax-M2.5, GLM-5, Qwen3.5 but again just on US servers. Only the older versions like MiniMax-M2.1 or GLM-4.7 are EU hosted.
Is there just no infrastructure available in the EU to host such models at scale? I really hope that is not the reason.
What do you use? Please help!
Edit: You just now found that Nebius requires Google, GitHub, or Microsoft account to sign up. Sad.
According to their documentation "EU data residency" is an enterprise feature. Not sure if that's available to regular end customers?! The top models all come with inference by companies based in California (USA) or China.
