If one wants to try a full size DeepSeek R1 model that is hosted within the EU, what provider do you recommended?

It's a big plus if privacy is good. And I'm not interested in big tech solutions.

Found this page: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-r1

Haven't looked through all alternatives yet, but Nebius from Netherlands seems like a viable alternative.

Nebius sounds nice. I'm currently with runpod.io (there's also vast.ai). If anyone has more European providers, I'd be interested, too. Especially pre-paid or some good control over spending, since I'm just tinkering for fun and not doing it as a job. And I don't want to risk getting a huge bill at the end of the month.

Host it yourself.

But really, that thing can run on a Raspi. And if it can run there, it will for sure run or your pc too

They asked about the fullsize model

Not the distilled ones
