AI Inference from Vienna, Sovereign LLMs, Self-Hosting.

I run open-weight language models on my own hardware in Austria and provide them to business customers. Companies that want to run AI themselves get my help building it.

01 / Compute

AI inference and GPU compute.

For companies that want to use open-weight models and must keep their data in the EU.

Inference API

OpenAI-compatible endpoint for open-weight models such as GLM and DeepSeek. Prompt caching for agentic workloads. Billed per token.

Dedicated GPU capacity

NVIDIA Blackwell servers (HGX B300) in Vienna, planned from early 2027. Reserved for 12 to 36 months.

EU data residency

Hardware, operations and data stay in Austria. Prompts and responses are not stored. Data processing agreement under the GDPR.

Running today

My own GPU server with two NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell cards serves GLM 5.3 Flash at about 200 tokens per second per request.

Export control and customer screening

  • The GPU hardware is subject to US export controls (EAR, ECCN 3A090 and 4A090) and the EU Dual-Use Regulation. I comply with both.
  • Every contract customer is screened before the contract starts: headquarters, ownership, intended use, and a check against EU and US sanctions lists.
  • I provide no services to companies headquartered or ultimately owned in EAR Country Group D:5 or Macau, and none for military or weapons-of-mass-destruction purposes.
  • The hardware is not resold. Usage is logged per contract (who, when, which capacity), without content.

02 / Services

Consulting: five focus areas.

Everything listed below, I run in production myself. No PowerPoint, no reseller markup.

AI Infrastructure

Inference on your hardware. Designed, deployed, monitored.

A single GPU server or a multi-node cluster. Model routing, auto-scaling, latency and token-throughput monitoring.

  • vLLM
  • SGLang
  • LiteLLM
  • Multi-GPU

Sovereign LLMs

Open-source models on-prem. Audit-ready, optionally air-gapped.

AI-Augmented Development

Claude Code & co.: introduced, guard-railed, measured.

Training, workflow integration, review pipelines that keep AI output honest. My standing rule: a claim doesn't count until the agent proves it with a command.

Self-Hosting

SaaS out, your own servers in. Reproducible and documented.

Mail, identity, monitoring, backups, CI: one stack, no vendor lock-in. Proxmox as the foundation under all of the above.

03 / About

Stefan Starflinger.

Independent, technical, hands-on.

Self-employed in IT services since 2018. I run the same stack I recommend: a 4-node Proxmox cluster, a GPU server with two RTX PRO 6000 cards, sovereign LLMs behind LiteLLM, self-hosted CI runners, monitoring, mail and vault servers.

Sole proprietorship based in Vienna. Consulting in German and English.
