Fara 7B

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

Description: Fara-7B is Microsoft's first agentic small language model (SLM) designed specifically for computer use. With only 7 billion parameters, Fara-7B is an ultra-compact Computer Use Agent (CUA) that achieves state-of-the-art performance within its size class and is compet...

Frequently asked questions

Can I run Fara 7B in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs Fara 7B 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 Fara 7B 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 Fara 7B 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 Fara 7B 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.

FastContext 1.0 4B RL

FastContext-1.0 is a lightweight repository-exploration subagent for LLM coding agents. Instead of letting a single model both explore the repository and solve the task, FastContext separates these two roles: it is invoked on demand by a main coding agent, issues parallel read-only tool calls (READ, GLOB, GREP), and returns compact file paths and line ranges as focused context.

X Reasoner 7B

We introduce X-Reasoner, a vision-language model posttrained solely on general-domain text for generalizable reasoning, using a twostage approach: an initial supervised fine-tuning phase with distilled long chainof-thoughts, followed by reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. Experiments show that X-Reasoner successfully transfers reasoning capabilities to both multimodal and out-of-domain settings, outperforming existing state-of-theart models trained with in-domain and multimodal data across various general and medical benchmarks. More details can be found in the paper: X-Reasoner: T

FrogBoss 32B 2510

FrogBoss is built on the Qwen3-32B transformer architecture with a maximum context length of 64k tokens. The model uses multi-turn debugging workflows and complex code reasoning. Unlike general-purpose LLMs, FrogBoss is specialized for software engineering tasks.

OptiMind SFT

OptiMind-SFT is a specialized 20B parameter model designed to bridge the gap between natural language and executable optimization solvers. It automates the translation of complex decision-making problems—such as supply chain planning, scheduling, and resource allocation—into correct MILP formulations.

UserLM 8b

Unlike typical LLMs that are trained to play the role of the "assistant" in conversation, we trained UserLM-8b to simulate the “user” role in conversation (by training it to predict user turns in a large corpus of conversations called WildChat). This model is useful in simulating more realistic conversations, which is in turn useful in the development of more robust assistants.
