AI Model Training · Pricing · Version 2026-09

Prices,
in writing.

Every line below maps to a step on the AI Model Training page. Pilots are fixed price. Programs are quoted after the scoping week. Retainers are monthly. All prices in EUR, excluding VAT, valid until 31 March 2027.

Pilots

Fixed scope, fixed price, one number at the end.

Both pilots end with a base-vs-tuned scoreboard on a frozen eval and a written recommendation. Pick by how much data you already have.

We build the data

Pilot M

€12,000 fixed

Everything in Pilot S, plus the dataset engineering: building, translating or distilling the training data, and an eval set from scratch.

  • Scoping week + data audit on site or remote
  • Dataset build: cleaning, dedup, quality scoring, licence gating
  • Translation or teacher distillation where data is missing
  • Base vs tuned vs the API or RAG setup you were considering
  • Deployment recipe (GGUF / vLLM), hand-over call
  • 4–5 weeks · 50 % on signing, 50 % on delivery
Scope Pilot M

Starting from one of our published domain models (Slovenian, biomedical, cybersecurity) takes €2,000 off Pilot M.

Full program

€20,000 – €90,000, quoted after scoping.

Fine-tuning, evaluation and deployment for a production model, with continued pre-training where the domain needs it. Six weeks at the lower end, four months at the upper. The scoping week is billed as Pilot S and credited against the program.

Flywheel retainer

The model stays current. The scoreboard is the contract.

New data in, retrain, re-score, ship. Base-model upgrades when a better open model wins on your eval. Every version of the weights is yours.

Hosting, GPU, add-ons

Priced separately, so the retainer stays about the model.

Most customers run the model on their own hardware. For those who don't, we host it on capacity we control inside the EU. Sized by traffic, never by hardware.

Hosted endpoint · EU

  • Light€600 / month — internal tools, a few users
  • Standard€1,200 / month — customer-facing, business hours
  • High€2,000 / month — 24/7, sustained traffic
  • IncludesvLLM or llama.cpp serving, TLS, monitoring, monthly usage report
  • ExcludesFrontier-API fallback calls in a cascade (passed through at cost)

GPU time & add-ons

  • GPU timeOn request, blocks of 100 GPU-hours, for teams with their own pipeline
  • Extra eval set€2,500 — a new frozen benchmark for an additional use case
  • On-site day€1,500 + travel — install, workshop or air-gapped hand-over
  • Dataset onlyQuoted per corpus — build, translate or distil without training
  • SpeechASR / TTS fine-tunes priced as Pilot M or program, by hours of audio

Terms

  • All prices in EUR, excluding VAT. Valid until 31 March 2027; this page carries a version, quotes reference it.
  • NDA and data-processing agreement signed before any data is transferred. Data stays inside the EU.
  • You own the weights, adapters, datasets, eval sets and provenance record of everything delivered, as described on the training page.
  • Pilots are prepaid (S) or 50/50 (M). Programs 40/40/20 on milestones. Retainers monthly in advance, 12-month term.
  • Open-weight bases only; we flag any base or data licence that is not commercially usable before work starts.

How to read this page

  • Not sure which pilot? Send fifty real examples of the task. We answer within two business days with S or M and why.
  • Already paying for a frontier API? Bring the monthly bill. The retainer should sit well under what the small model saves.
  • Regulated data? Ask about the air-gapped rung. Same prices, plus on-site days.
  • Slovenian version of this page: slovensko.

Pick a pilot. Get a number.

Thirty minutes to scope it. A dated schedule after that. Bring fifty examples and, if you have one, your current API bill.
