Sovereign LLM & image inference API from German hosting provider IONOS, served from EU data centres via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Profile

IONOS AI Model Hub

The IONOS AI Model Hub is a sovereign inference API that runs open-weight LLMs and image models entirely on German infrastructure. Operated by IONOS — Germany's largest hosting provider — it targets companies that need GDPR-grade data residency without giving up an OpenAI-compatible developer experience.

All processing happens in IONOS data centres, with prompts "securely stored in a database in our Berlin data center" and discarded after each session, "free from logging, recording, or reuse for model training". The platform carries ISO 27001 and Gaia-X certifications and is designed to comply with the GDPR.

The catalogue covers open-weight models such as Llama 3.1 (8B–405B) and Mistral, exposed through an OpenAI-compatible REST API, so teams can switch a single credential to move off US infrastructure. Billing is pay-per-token. For most German SMBs it is one of the most accessible entries into sovereign AI, sitting between hyperscaler scale and specialists like Aleph Alpha.

Frequently asked questions

Where does IONOS AI Model Hub store my data?

In Germany. Prompts are processed and stored in the IONOS Berlin data centre and discarded after each session, with no reuse for model training.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. IONOS exposes an OpenAI-compatible REST API, so existing OpenAI SDKs work by swapping the endpoint and key.
