Our mission

## Make the inference market comparable.

The inference market is fragmented. Two providers can look identical on a pricing page but differ completely on ownership, hosting region, model access, data residency, payment rails, KYC, and compliance. The directory exists to make those differences visible, sourced, and comparable.

### Clarity

Cut through fragmented provider claims, inconsistent pricing pages, and unclear hosting language.

### Trust

Source-backed records, explicit labels, and dated snapshots.

### Actionable

Built for real deployment decisions: models, prices, access, hosting, and compliance in one record.

What we cover

## Three directories. One standard.

[01 Cybersec & Abliterated For security teams deploying abliterated and uncensored models. Compare inventory, list prices, payment rails, KYC posture, and published cyber scores. Live →](/cybersec/) [02 Indian Inference Indian-owned and India-hosted inference providers, from token APIs to model builders, with models and prices on every entry. Live →](/india/) [03 European Inference EU-owned and EU-hosted inference providers, with data residency and EU AI Act posture tracked on every entry. Live →](/eu/)

Principles

## What does not change.

-   Every claim links to a source.
-   The same criteria apply to every provider.
-   Labels are explicit: owned vs hosted, abliterated vs uncensored.
-   Benchmarks are never mixed into one ranking.
-   Every directory is a dated snapshot, not a live feed.

Who it's for

## Built for people making a decision.

-   Developers choosing an inference API
-   Security researchers evaluating abliterated models
-   Procurement and platform teams comparing hosting and compliance
-   Founders mapping the inference market

Contact

## Corrections, submissions, and questions.

If a provider has changed its catalog, pricing, ownership, or hosting, send the source. If you run a provider that belongs in one of the directories, send the catalog and endpoint documentation.
