  1. OpenAI and Anthropic compatible API for open-weight models, with EEA-only processing and zero retention on its flagship models, billed per token.

    Heabsy is a pay-per-token inference API for open-weight language models that speaks both the OpenAI and the Anthropic API formats. Switching an existing app usually means changing the base URL to Heabsy's endpoint, and the Anthropic-compatible endpoint lets coding tools such as Claude Code run against open models instead.

    The catalogue is split in two and labelled model by model. A small set of models, led by Qwen3.8 27B, runs on GPUs provisioned in data centres inside the European Economic Area, where prompts and completions are processed in memory only and never logged or used for training. Most of the catalogue is routed: Heabsy buys capacity from global providers through OpenRouter and bills it on one invoice, and those requests may be processed outside the EEA. Billing is per token, with no subscription and no minimum spend.

    Key benefits:

    • Drop-in OpenAI compatibility for chat completions, streaming, tool calling and structured output
    • Anthropic-compatible endpoint for tools built on the Claude API format
    • EEA-only processing for the models labelled EEA-only in the catalogue
    • Zero data retention on those models, with only token counts and metadata kept for billing
    • Clear labels showing which models are processed inside or outside the EEA
    • One European invoice and DPA covering every model in the catalogue

    Heabsy is a brand of FEYA, s.r.o., a limited liability company registered in Bratislava, Slovakia, under Slovak law. Only the models marked EEA-only stay in Europe: routed models are fulfilled through OpenRouter (US) and their upstream providers, and the privacy policy also lists Cloudflare and optional Google sign-in as global sub-processors under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

    Ideal for developers who want an OpenAI-style API and can pin sensitive workloads to the EEA-only models.

  2. Screenshot of Scaleway AI

    Scaleway AI provides sovereign European infrastructure for training, fine-tuning, and serving AI models, spanning on-demand GPU clusters, dedicated supercomputers, and generative inference APIs on a single platform. Powering Mistral AI, Hugging Face, and France TV, it gives AI teams access to 5,000+ GPUs including H100, B300-SXM, L40S, and L4 without queueing behind US hyperscalers or accepting extraterritorial data exposure.

    The platform scales from single-GPU experiments to the Scaleway SuperPod with 1,000+ interconnected GPUs for foundation model training, and offers managed inference, serverless Generative APIs, and custom-built clusters. Multi-AZ deployment across three European regions delivers low-latency compute alongside 100+ other Scaleway cloud services (storage, Kubernetes, databases) under one console and one bill.

    Key benefits:

    • H100 and B300 GPU clusters available on-demand from 32 to 1,000+ units
    • Generative APIs for instant access to open-weight LLMs
    • Custom SuperPod training with InfiniBand interconnect for foundation models
    • Transparent pay-per-hour pricing with no egress fees within the platform
    • HDS-certified infrastructure qualified for French healthcare workloads
    • Renewable-energy datacenters across Paris, Amsterdam, and Warsaw

    Scaleway is headquartered in Paris, France, founded in 1999 and operating as a subsidiary of the Iliad Group led by Xavier Niel. The company runs four European multi-AZ cloud regions, is fully GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 and HDS certified, and operates entirely outside the reach of the US CLOUD Act. For European AI teams, it is the sovereign alternative to AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best European alternative to AWS Bedrock?
Heabsy ranks first of the 2 European alternatives to AWS Bedrock in our directory, followed by Scaleway AI.
Is AWS Bedrock GDPR-compliant?
Bedrock is operated by Amazon Web Services, an American subsidiary of Amazon.com, which keeps prompts and fine-tunes with a US parent. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Amazon is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
