Hetzner Launches Free AI Inference API in Europe with Qwen 35B Model
German hosting firm Hetzner launched a free, experimental AI Inference API on July 24, 2026, allowing users to run large language model queries at no cost during the trial period. The service is OpenAI-compatible and hosted entirely on Hetzner's infrastructure in Germany and Finland, requiring only a Hetzner account and API token to access. It currently serves a single model, Alibaba's Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 35 billion total parameters, a 256K-token context window, and vision support. Hetzner has cautioned that the service carries no SLA or uptime guarantees and is not suitable for production use. The company has committed to notifying users by email before making any changes to the free-access status.
