Catalog for DACH/public-sector RFPs only. Depot EU default remains Mistral; OVH/Scaleway/STACKIT for self-serve EU inference. Do not pick Aleph Alpha for a product agent that needs a credit-card API. Strengths: German sovereign stack (BSI/public-sector gravity, STACKIT partnership); On-prem / air-gapped PhariaOS for regulated buyers; PhariaInference has tools, embeddings, JSON, rerank.

Catalog for DACH/public-sector RFPs only. Depot EU default remains Mistral; OVH/Scaleway/STACKIT for self-serve EU inference. Do not pick Aleph Alpha for a product agent that needs a credit-card API.

Strengths

  • · German sovereign stack (BSI/public-sector gravity, STACKIT partnership)
  • · On-prem / air-gapped PhariaOS for regulated buyers
  • · PhariaInference has tools, embeddings, JSON, rerank

Weaknesses

  • · No self-serve API or public rate card — unusable as an indie default
  • · Weeks-long deployment vs Mistral/OVH minutes
  • · Pivoted away from developer API-first in late 2024

Pricing notes

As of 2026-09-14: Quote-only enterprise. No self-serve token page. Product is PhariaAI suite (PhariaAssistant/Studio/OS/Catch) + PhariaInference API (token minted in PhariaOS) — not a public Luminous API. Deployments: STACKIT SaaS, private cloud, on-prem; 4–12 week typical stand-up; 12–24 month contracts. Only published public-sector band is F13 ~€1.50/workplace/mo via Baden-Württemberg partner channel — not a commercial list price. Pharia-1 open weights on HF are research-only (Open Aleph License).
