Scaleway on Hugging Face Inference Providers 🔥

We're thrilled to share that Scaleway is now a supported Inference Provider on the Hugging Face Hub! Scaleway joins our growing ecosystem, enhancing the breadth and capabilities of serverless inference directly on the Hub’s model pages. Inference Providers are also seamlessly integrated into our client SDKs (for both JS and Python), making it super easy to use a wide variety of models with your preferred providers.

This launch makes it easier than ever to access popular open-weight models like gpt-oss, Qwen3, DeepSeek R1, and Gemma 3 — right from Hugging Face.

Scaleway Generative APIs is a fully managed, serverless service that provides access to frontier AI models from leading research labs via simple API calls. The service offers competitive pay-per-token pricing starting at €0.20 per million tokens.

The service runs on secure infrastructure located in European data centers (Paris, France), ensuring data sovereignty and low latency for European users. The platform supports advanced features including structured outputs, function calling, and multimodal capabilities for both text and image processing.

Built for production use, Scaleway's inference infrastructure delivers sub-200ms response times for first tokens, making it ideal for interactive applications and agentic workflows. The service supports both text generation and embedding models.

• In your user account settings, you are able to:
• Set your own API keys for the providers you’ve signed up with. If no custom key is set, your requests will be routed through HF.
• Order providers by preference. This applies to the widget and code snippets in the model pages.

There are two modes when calling Inference Providers:

• Custom key (calls go directly to the inference provider, using your own API key).
• Routed by HF (no provider token needed, charges applied directly to your HF account).

Example using Python:

import os
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
client = InferenceClient(
provider="scaleway",
api_key=os.environ["HF_TOKEN"],
)
messages = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Write a poem in the style of Shakespeare"
}
]
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model="openai/gpt-oss-120b",
messages=messages,
)
print(completion.choices[0].message)

Important Note ‼️ PRO users get $2 worth of Inference credits every month. You can use them across providers. Subscribe to the Hugging Face PRO plan to get access to Inference credits, ZeroGPU, Spaces Dev Mode, 20x higher limits, and more.
