Great to see this! Worth mentioning that Huggingface already offers a similar service. And they are also European: https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/index https://huggingface.co/inference/models

Huggingface is about as European as Google, IBM, or Visa: they all have some offices in Europe.

didn't see any claims to being EU-based, just "built in Europe"

I don't see any difference, for me it's just a play on words. And I'm in favor of something made in the EU.

well I'm in the UK which is in Europe and not in the EU, there's also Norway and Switzerland, and Iceland

it could also be made in the EU and not hosted there

Indeed; a "European" router serving mostly US models is (deliberately?) missing the point.

If you think a routing service based in one country should only use the models from that country, I think you may be the one who is missing the entire point of a routing service in the first place.

It’s the other way around. People are concerned about the various implications of the US and China owning all of the best models, and Europe not really being at the races (Mistral noted). Switching to a European router achieves very little against the current backdrop.

nah... their founders and most of their employees are in france.

Very ill-suited comparison to IBM.
