Sference provides an OpenAI‑compatible batch inference API that runs any open‑weight or fine‑tuned model on European GPUs, letting regulated enterprises process large volumes of data with selectable latency windows (1‑48 hours) to lower costs. All computation stays within the EU, offering audit‑ready logs, configurable data retention, and compliance reports for GDPR, DORA, and the EU AI Act, ensuring data sovereignty and version stability.

Problem
Enterprises in regulated industries often need to run large-scale AI inference tasks such as embeddings, data extraction, or synthetic data generation, but real‑time APIs are costly and expose data to jurisdictions like the US CLOUD Act, creating compliance risks under GDPR, DORA, and the upcoming EU AI Act.
Solution
Sference offers an OpenAI‑compatible batch inference API that runs any open‑weight or fine‑tuned model on European GPUs. Users select an SLA window—from 1 hour up to 48 hours—allowing them to trade latency for lower cost while keeping model versions pinned for stability. All processing occurs architecturally within Europe, providing a full audit trail, configurable data retention, and exportable compliance reports. The service is designed for regulated verticals, ensuring that data never leaves the EU and that audit requirements for GDPR, DORA, and the EU AI Act are met out of the box.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI/ML teams in FinTech, LegalTech, HealthTech, and InsureTech organizations that require bulk processing of data while meeting strict European regulatory and data‑sovereignty requirements.
