100% hosted in Europe
Best for AI-powered applications requiring low latency, full data privacy, and 100% compliance with EU AI Act.
Generative APIs
Serverless endpoints to use the latest AI models via API. Towards a sovereign AI where your data remains yours, and only in Europe.
Interoperable technologies
No need to reinvent the wheel, change your code or read docs forever. Your current OpenAI library or Langchain SDK are just fine!
Extremely cost efficient
Priced per million tokens, our APIs will start as low as 0,022 EUR – up to 10X cheaper than our beloved American hyperscalers.
Everything you need to create apps with Generative AI
Provide exclusive and up-to-date information to your generative AI model using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique that involves retrieving data from enterprise data sources and enriching the prompt with this data for more relevant and accurate answers.
RAG is easy with Scaleway: embeddings, vector database, Langchain - we've got you covered. Here's your step by step guide.
Scaleway Generative APIs enable frontier models to perform multi-step tasks using your organization's systems and data sources. Whether it's answering customer inquiries about a delivery status or processing bookings, these models can be granted secure access to your APIs through Serverless Functions. An autonomous agent interprets the user’s request and automatically triggers the required APIs and databases to complete the task.
Create LLM-based, multimodal assistants (copilot, chatbot etc), that understand user requests, automatically break down tasks, engage in dialogue to gather information, and boost productivity over so many tasks. Translate languages, summarize content, analyze sentiment, answer questions... you name it.
Traditional OCR models struggle with tasks that require understanding both text and visuals, but the multimodal vision-language models (VLMs) available through Scaleway Generative APIs bridge this gap. VLMs are ideal for real-world applications like scanned documents and technical diagrams, making them a powerful toolkit for mixed-content processing.
Analyze call/video recordings securely in order to identify sentiment, mood, risks, needs. Speech-to-text capabilities offered by Scaleway Generative APIs combined with powerful LLMs already help telecom giants improve quality of services while providing agents with highly valuable insights.
Instantly access popular models from leading AI labs
Exceptional developer experience meets best-in-class AI
Try all models for free
Scaleway offers a free playground allowing you to quickly experiment with different AI models. Once satisfied with the responses, simply export the payload and replicate at scale!
Open weight FTW
Scaleway supports the distribution of cutting-edge open-weight models, whose performance in reasoning and features now rivals that of proprietary models like GPTx or Claude.
Low latency
End-users in Europe will love a response time below 200ms to get the first tokens streamed, ideal for interactive dialog and agentic workflows even at high context lengths.
Structured outputs
Our built-in JSON mode or JSON schema can distill and transform the diverse unstructured outputs of LLMs into actionable, reliable, machine-readable structured data.
Native function calling
Generative AI models served at Scaleway can connect to external tools. Integrate LLMs with custom functions or APIs, and easily build applications able to interface with external systems.
Production-grade
Bridge the gap between prototype and production with a platform engineered for scale. Scaleway's inference stack runs on highly secure, reliable infrastructure in Paris. Pas mal non? C'est français.

Security and privacy for your data and applications
We do not collect, read, reuse, or analyze the content of your inputs, prompts, or outputs generated by the APIs. Why would we?

Frequently asked questions
What is Scaleway Generative APIs?
Generative APIs is Scaleway's fully managed service that makes frontier AI models from leading research labs available via a simple API call.
How can I get access to Scaleway Generative APIs?
Access to this service is open to all Scaleway customers. You can begin using it via Scaleway's console playground or via API right away, see the quickstart guide here.
What is the pricing of Scaleway Generative APIs?
This service is totally free while in beta. Once in general availability stage, Generative APIs will be with a "pay-as-you-go" pricing, or "pay per tokens" since your consumption will be charged per 1M tokens in/out.
Where are Scaleway's inference servers located?
We currently host all models in a secure datacenter located in France, Paris only. This may change in the future.
Can I use the OpenAI libraries and APIs?
Scaleway lets you seamlessly transition applications already utilizing OpenAI. You can use any of the OpenAI official libraries, for example the OpenAI Python client library or Azure OpenAI sdk, to interact with your Scaleway Generative APIs. Find here the APIs and parameters supported.
What is the difference with Scaleway Managed Inference?
-
Scaleway Generative APIs is a serverless service. This is most likely the easiest way to get started: We have set up the hardware, so you only pay per token/file and don’t wait for boot-ups.
-
Scaleway Managed Inference on the other hand is meant to deploy curated models or your own models, with the quantization and instances of your choice. You will get predictable throughput, as as well as custom security: isolation in your private network, access control…
Both AI services offer text and multi-modal (image understanding) models, OpenAI compatibility and important capabilities like structured outputs.
