DeepSeek hosted in Europe: Germany and France
On Evanesca, every DeepSeek model runs in Europe, at a named European operator — never at DeepSeek, never in China. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is run by AKI.IO in Germany; DeepSeek V4 Flash by Scaleway in Paris, France.
| Model | Run by | Where | Price with VAT, input / output, per million tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek V4.1 Flash | AKI.IO GmbH, Berlin — a German company; its shareholders are not published | Germany | €1.008 / €3.024 |

Evanesca is not the only way to run DeepSeek in Europe. On 13 October 2026, Scaleway also listed DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in Paris (Scaleway's prices), and TensorX, an Irish company, served DeepSeek models in Dublin and Helsinki (TensorX's prices). Our list of European inference providers compares them, with what each one keeps of your prompts.
