Scaleway Generative APIs is a managed model-inference service from France. Its serverless APIs provide OpenAI-compatible access to language, reasoning, vision, audio, embedding, and reranking models, while dedicated deployments can serve curated or customer-selected models. Text-generation endpoints support chat completions, structured outputs, tool calling, streaming, and batch processing. Serverless usage is billed by token or task and includes an ongoing free tier.

European alternatives to OpenAI API
OpenAI API is a developer platform from the United States that provides programmatic access to GPT language and reasoning models as well as multimodal, embedding, audio, and image-generation services. It supports text generation, structured outputs, tool use, agents, batch processing, and model customization through documented APIs and SDKs.
This pages lists European OpenAI API alternatives from companies based in a member state of the European Union (EU) or the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
Nebius Token Factory provides managed inference for open-source language models through an OpenAI-compatible API. Developers can use it for chat completions, reasoning, code generation, embeddings, and related application workloads without managing model-serving infrastructure. Its public serverless endpoints use token-based billing, while optional dedicated endpoints provide reserved capacity and regional deployment controls. The service supports API-key authentication, a browser-based playground, and model-specific performance tiers.
OVHcloud AI Endpoints is a managed generative AI API service from France. It gives developers serverless access to pre-trained language, reasoning, vision, embedding, image, and speech models without requiring them to deploy inference infrastructure. Its OpenAI-compatible chat-completions and responses routes support common application patterns including text generation, structured output, and function calling. Access can be authenticated with API keys, and usage is billed according to the selected model.
IONOS AI Model Hub is a managed generative AI platform from Germany. It provides OpenAI-compatible and native APIs for text and image generation, embeddings, document collections, semantic search, and retrieval-augmented generation. Developers can use curated open-source language models for chat, text, and code generation without managing GPU infrastructure. Usage is billed according to the selected model and the tokens or images processed.
