OVHcloud on Hugging Face Inference Providers 🔥

Summary

OVHcloud is now integrated as a supported Inference Provider on the Hugging Face Hub, expanding serverless inference options across model pages and client SDKs. The integration enables access to open-weight models, including gpt-oss, Qwen3, DeepSeek R1, and Llama, using European infrastructure with pay-per-token pricing starting at €0.04 per million tokens. Developers can connect via Python and JavaScript SDKs using either direct custom API keys or automatic routing through Hugging Face tokens. The service supports structured outputs, function calling, multimodal workflows, and embedding models while providing sub-200ms first-token response times. Calls routed through Hugging Face pass through standard provider pricing without markups, and PRO tier subscribers receive monthly inference credits.

Takeaways

1. 1

   OVHcloud AI Endpoints operate out of European data centers, offering sub-200ms first-token latency, pay-per-token pricing from €0.04 per million tokens, and support for structured outputs and function calling.

2. 2

   Users can run inference in two modes: direct requests using a provider API key billed by OVHcloud, or routed requests authenticated with a Hugging Face token billed directly through Hugging Face without markup.

3. 3

   Hugging Face client SDKs for Python (huggingface_hub >= 1.1.5) and JavaScript (@huggingface/inference) support specifying provider targets directly in the model identifier.
