## What this is

- Token Deals compares hosts of large language models by price, capability and jurisdiction. Data as of 2026-10-07. The copy on this page is published by hand and may lag the latest weekly refresh.
- Capability is the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 from Artificial Analysis (https://artificialanalysis.ai/). Prices come from the models.dev registry. Blended price = 0.25 x input price + 0.75 x output price per 1 million tokens. Value = how far a listing sits above the least-squares line of index score on ln(blended price): score = 28.6 + 6.07 x ln(price), R-squared 0.33, 113 paid listings.

## Host ranking (editorial, applied before price)

- 1. 🇨🇭 Infomaniak (Switzerland): Gold standard overall. Preferred when prices are equal. May receive confidential data.
- 2. 🇨🇭 Privatemode AI (Switzerland): Best privacy of all hosts: confidential computing. May receive confidential data.

- 4. 🇸🇪 Berget.AI (Sweden): Stable Swedish option, tested here. May receive confidential data.
- 6. 🇫🇷 OVHcloud AI Endpoints (France): European (French) host. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 6.9. 🇫🇷🇫🇮 GreenPT (France and Finland): Slightly above Scaleway in the ranking: renewable-powered data centres on French and Finnish infrastructure. May receive confidential data.
- 7. 🇫🇷 Mistral AI (direct) (France): French jurisdiction: lowest of the European hosts in this editorial ranking. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 7. 🇫🇷 Scaleway (France): French jurisdiction: lowest of the European hosts in this editorial ranking. May receive confidential data.
- 8. 🇸🇪 evroc (Sweden): Swedish sovereign cloud, not yet placed in the ranking. May receive confidential data.

- 9.5. 🇩🇪 Lyceum (Germany): Berlin-based serverless open-model API. Prices from its public pricing page (2026-10-07). It states no context windows, so each row shows the smallest window other hosts list for the same model. No retention or training statement found, so non-confidential data only. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 20. 🇺🇸 Anthropic (direct) (United States): Non-European: non-confidential data only. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 20. 🇺🇸 DeepInfra (United States (assumed)): Non-European: non-confidential data only. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 20. 🇺🇸 OpenAI (direct) (United States): Non-European: non-confidential data only. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 21. 🇺🇸 NVIDIA build (free endpoints) (United States (assumed)): Free tier, non-European: non-confidential data only. May receive non-confidential data only.
- 21. 🌐 OpenRouter (global router, region unclear): Router to many providers: non-confidential data only. May receive non-confidential data only.

- At equal price (within 10 percent) the higher-ranked host wins. A better deal on a non-European host is used only for non-confidential data.

## Limits

- Scores are Artificial Analysis index values at the thinking level named in each row; where that level is not published, the top published variant is used, which overstates.
- Privacy classes come from each host's own public statements where they were read (quotes and links on the page); 'terms not read' means nothing was verified. This is not legal or compliance advice.
- A model counts as open-weight only when the weights are published. MiMo V2.6 weights are published under MIT as the MiMo-V2.6-Pro-RL and -Flash-RL checkpoints; the model card does not say the hosted API model is identical.
