alt Hacker NewsI had a look at eurouter.ai and it seems like an extremely bad offer.
- The prices are ridiculous (15 % markup for free account).
- They have a rate limit of 1000 requests per month, unless you pay 40€ per month for ... what exactly is their value proposition?
- They have a single provider (TensorX) for DeepSeek-V4-Pro, with a cache read cost that is over 100 times higher than DeepSeek ($0.44 vs $0.003625). Notably, I had to look at the TensorX website for that information, since I could not find any information about cached token cost on eurorouter.ai.

It looks like a business opportunity, then, to provide inference that is EU-local and/or EU-owned.
If there aren't enough businesses who want to do this, the EU should figure out how it can properly incentivise that to change.
Hosting anything in EU must cover redtape and carbon taxes in electricity bill.
I guess the prices are for "EU owned" instead of "EU hosted". The data centers in the EU where you can rent GPUs is mostly US companies.
