Overview

STACKIT AI Model Serving is the managed generative-AI service of STACKIT, the sovereign cloud brand of Schwarz Digits, the Schwarz Group's IT division, operated by Schwarz Digits Cloud GmbH & Co. KG from Neckarsulm, Germany. It gives applications API access to open-source large language models such as Llama, on infrastructure where the vendor says queries are neither stored nor used to train models. Hosting is in European data centres, presented as a GDPR-compliant alternative to US providers, with GPU and CPU compute on the same platform for training. Billing is token-based, with rates published per model tier. The limitation is breadth: an independent industry radar that recommends the service for German sovereignty needs notes that model selection stays limited compared with the hyperscalers.

Key features

API access to open-source large language models such as Llama, with model switching in the STACKIT Cloud Portal
Data and queries neither stored nor used to train models, according to the vendor
Hosting in STACKIT's European data centres, sold on data sovereignty and GDPR compliance
Token-based billing with published rates for input, output and embedding model tiers
GPU and CPU compute on the same platform for training and inference workloads
RAG template and Terraform provider for integrating models into existing environments

Use cases

Running generative-AI features on models hosted inside the EU for data-sovereignty requirements
Prototyping and operating LLM applications through one API without managing inference servers
Training or fine-tuning models on STACKIT GPU compute next to the serving endpoint

Pricing

Token-based: the product page publishes rates per million tokens by model tier, for example €0.15 for standard input, €0.45 for plus input, €1.50 for premium input, €0.25 for standard output and €1.75 for premium output, plus embedding rates from €0.02, all in the Germany South (EU01) region. No free allowance is advertised on the page read, and this record sets no comparable paid_from figure.

Frequently asked questions

What is STACKIT AI Model Serving?

A managed service that serves open-source large language models through an API from STACKIT's European cloud, so applications can use generative AI without running their own inference infrastructure.

Who operates it and where is it based?

STACKIT is the cloud brand of Schwarz Digits, the Schwarz Group's IT and digital division; the vendor page names the entity Schwarz Digits Cloud GmbH & Co. KG and says the team is based in Neckarsulm, Swabia, Germany.

How is it billed?

By tokens, with published rates per model tier: for example €0.15 per million standard input tokens and €0.25 per million standard output tokens, in the Germany South (EU01) region. The page read advertises no free tier.

Where is data processed?

STACKIT hosts in its own European data centres, which the vendor presents as GDPR-compliant and sovereign, and states that user data and queries are neither stored nor used to train models.

What does this record not establish?

No vendor page read states a launch date for the service, its licence terms, or its own interface languages; the 2025 launch year comes from an independent industry radar, and a docs.stackit.cloud page tried for this record returned 404, so no docs_url is recorded.
