The European AI API
For Teams That Keep Control
Curated open-weight AI models hosted in Germany for security-sensitive and confidential workloads. GDPR-ready, Zero Retention, competitively priced, and OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible — giving your business control over data, models, infrastructure, and cost.
Direct
Inference in Germany. No hyperscalers, no third-party routing.
Secure
GDPR-ready, Zero Retention, and no model training.
Controllable
Manage API keys, set budgets, and control model access.
Production-Ready
Rapid model updates and scalable inference.
A curated selection of leading AI models for modern applications
One API.
Leading AI Models.
Your AI applications need different models for different jobs: coding, support, document workflows, image generation, and agentic automation. With AKI.IO, teams can switch across curated models, compare performance, and keep control over quality, cost, and data.
No vendor lock-in, no hyperscalers, no training on your data, and no GPU stack to operate — just token-based access to curated open-weight models on EU infrastructure.
Setup is simple: create API keys, assign budget caps, and connect through OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible interfaces.
Sensitive customer data, software IP and trade secrets remain secure. For inference workloads, prompts and outputs are not stored, logged, or used for training.
Infrastructure is hosted in German data centers. ISO 27001, TÜVIT TSI, DIN EN 50600 and other certifications apply to the respective data center operators.
AI Infrastructure
for Teams Who Ship
Inference API
OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints for production workloads.
Available
Models run on high-performance GPU infrastructure in German data centers.
Controllable
Create API keys, assign budget caps, and manage model access per project.
Self-service setup
Token-based billing
Code-agnostic
Agent-ready
Built for Agentic AI:
Frontier Models, Tool Calling,
and Multi-Step Workflows
Agentic systems such as OpenCode, Claude Code, and OpenClaw are moving into production. AI teams today use frameworks and coding agents to read documents, call tools, write code, run terminal commands, and automate multi-step tasks.
AKI.IO is built for these requirements. AI Teams access EU-hosted AI models through an OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API, switch across curated models for different tasks, and keep sensitive workloads safe on German infrastructure.
Easy Migration: A Drop-In Path
from OpenAI & Anthropic
Move existing AI features to EU-hosted inference without a full rebuild. AKI.IO is built for teams that already use OpenAI- and Anthropic-style APIs. Integration starts with changing the endpoint and API key, while your app logic, agent framework, and orchestration layer remain largely unchanged. A practical path to German AI infrastructure without a full rewrite.
One API Key
for Agentic AI Workflows
High-Performance AI Infrastructure
AKI.IO routes requests through a secure API layer to GPU infrastructure optimized for AI inference. No special network setup is required. The service follows common API standards and is designed for straightforward integration into existing AI applications. The stack is built on open standards and selected open-source technologies. Connect your apps seamlessly and scale workloads across German infrastructure.
