Pros & Cons

Scaleway

Advantages

GPU lineup spanning L4 through B300-SXM (Blackwell) in 1-8 GPU configurations
Two inference paths: serverless per-token Generative APIs and dedicated GPU deployments for the same model catalog
European headquarters with data residency across multiple multi-AZ EU regions
Free tier for trying Generative APIs, including a token allowance and audio transcription minutes

Considerations

On-demand hourly pricing only; no reserved or spot pricing published for GPU Instances
Some GPU types are limited to specific availability zones
Faster support response times require a paid support plan

Velokey

Advantages

Supports a variety of AI models
Easy integration for existing OpenAI users
Allows model switching without reconfiguration
Provides usage-based metering for services

Considerations

Limited information on regional availability
Reseller of other providers' models rather than an operator of its own infrastructure
Image and video generation use an asynchronous task API that requires polling for results
