Features Comparison

Groq

LPU-Powered Inference
Custom Language Processing Units run inference, with 256 LPUs and 128 GB of on-chip SRAM per rack
OpenAI-Compatible API
Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API at api.groq.com/openai/v1, including a Responses API
Layered Platform
GroqMetal bare-metal infrastructure, GroqCore inference stack, and GroqAssured enterprise governance, each including the layers below
Multimodal Endpoints

Agentic Systems and Built-In Tools
Compound systems that combine models with web search, code execution, remote MCP tools, and Google Workspace connectors
Service Tiers
Performance, flex, and batch processing tiers, plus prompt caching, structured outputs, and LoRA inference

Heabsy

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API
Base URL https://api.heabsy.com/v1. Streaming, tool calling and structured output work as with the original SDKs; vision on supported models.
EEA tier with zero data retention
Models marked EEA only run on GPUs Heabsy operates inside the European Economic Area. Prompts and completions are processed in memory and never written to logs.
Routed catalog of open models
More than 25 open models from DeepSeek, Moonshot, Z.ai, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Qwen, NVIDIA and others, bought from global providers under a European contract and billed by Heabsy.
Long context and prefix caching
Up to 1M tokens of context on several models and 262K on Qwen3.8 27B; cached input is billed at a lower rate.
Per-model processing labels
The catalog at heabsy.com/models shows for each model whether it is processed only in the EEA or may leave it.

Pros & Cons

Groq

Advantages

High published token speeds (500 t/s on GPT-OSS 120B, 1,000 t/s on GPT-OSS 20B)
OpenAI-compatible API for easy integration
Competitive pricing for open-weight models
Free tier available for testing

Considerations

Small model catalog: production text models are limited to OpenAI GPT-OSS
Focus on inference only - no training capabilities
Several models are preview-only and may be discontinued at short notice

Heabsy

Advantages

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API: existing SDKs, Claude Code and Cursor switch by changing the base URL
EEA tier runs on Heabsy's own GPUs inside the EEA with zero data retention; prompts are never logged
EU company (Slovakia) with no US parent; DPA and sub-processor list published
Every model is labelled with where it is processed: EEA only or outside the EEA

Considerations

Most of the catalog is routed through third-party providers and may be processed outside the EEA; only a few models run on Heabsy's own hardware
Accounts are opened on request; there is no free tier
No embeddings endpoint and no GPU rental

Batch and flex processing

Alternative service tiers for throughput-tolerant or bursty workloads instead of the standard on-demand tier

Enterprise capacity

Dedicated capacity and enterprise-only models quoted through sales

Free tier

Rate-limited free access for development and testing
