GPT-OSS 120B is an open-weight model by OpenAI that works with text, released under the Apache-2.0 licence. On Evanesca, Scaleway runs it in Paris: your prompts are processed in France, and Evanesca keeps no copy of them. If Scaleway does not answer, OVHcloud takes over, in Europe too.

Where your prompts go
Here is the route of a message sent to GPT-OSS 120B, end to end. No call to the model leaves Europe: not as a backup, not when servers are busy.
- From your browser to EvanescaEvanesca passes your message straight on to Scaleway. It stores neither the prompt nor the answer: both stay in memory only while the answer is written.
- Scaleway, ParisScaleway runs GPT-OSS 120B in Paris, France. It is a French company with no US parent: out of the CLOUD Act's direct reach. Scaleway may keep and read requests that cause errors or look abusive, for up to 14 days (Scaleway's data privacy page).
- Back to you, with its passportThe answer comes back with its passport: model, operator, country, and what was kept. Your history lives in your browser; about this message, Evanesca keeps only billing data — tokens and cost.
What it costs
€0.252 per million input tokens and €1.008 per million output tokens, VAT included. Three typical exchanges on GPT-OSS 120B:
| Example | Tokens in | Tokens out | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| A quick question | 300 | 400 | €0.0005 |
| A long document to summarise | 15,000 | 800 | €0.0046 |
| A message late in a long conversation | 40,000 | 2,000 | €0.0121 |
€2 of credit covers about 4,100 quick questions on this model. Reasoning tokens count as output, so a model that thinks first can cost more than these examples. The exact cost of each answer shows under it. All prices.
