DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B

Instantly via the EU router or as a dedicated GPU deployment. Data stays in Europe.

We introduce our first-generation reasoning models, DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1. DeepSeek-R1-Zero, a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step, demonstrated remarkable performance on reasoning. With R...

Frequently asked questions

Can I run DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B cost?

Via the shared EU router you pay €0.10 per million input tokens and €0.18 per million output tokens, with no fixed costs. For high volume or isolation you can also run DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B as a dedicated hourly GPU instance.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.
