Infomaniak AI Services

Related: shares the task Running models yourself

Swiss-hosted AI service that serves open-source language, transcription and image models through an OpenAI-compatible API and a web app, billed on credits.

Freemium

Use cases

  • Adding European-hosted chat, transcription or image generation to an application through one OpenAI-compatible key
  • Running or fine-tuning models on GPU instances inside a Swiss cloud
  • Giving a team a sovereign assistant inside email and collaboration tools

Pricing: Credit-based and usage-billed: the vendor's support guide says each request consumes a credit or LLM tokens, that one million free credits cover a first month without commitment, and that pricing is shown on the sales page; a credit card is required and a spending limit can be set. No flat plan price or per-token table was readable on the pages fetched, so this record sets no comparable paid_from figure.
