How this was valued: Face value of the separate one-month Public Cloud trial, normalized across its stated duration. The ongoing zero-price endpoints add unquantified value because they publish request-rate ceilings rather than a finite usage allowance.
A payment method is required for the trial; the anonymous and authenticated zero-price endpoints remain usable separately under their documented limits.

What happens to your prompts?
Endpoint-specific prompt retention and training commitments were not found.
- Plan Scope
- OVHcloud AI Endpoints under OVHcloud general and service-specific cloud agreements.
- Prompt Retention
- No public endpoint-specific prompt retention duration was verified.
- Response Retention
- not documented
- Ordinary Logging
- OVHcloud processes technical, security, billing, and account data; the reviewed catalog does not specify inference-content logging.
- Model Training
- No endpoint-specific statement authorizing or prohibiting training on prompts and outputs was found.
- Product Improvement
- General service telemetry may be used for operation and improvement; content scope is not documented.
- Human Or Operator Access
- not documented
- Subprocessors And Routing
- OVHcloud operates the endpoints in its cloud regions; catalog models may carry separate licenses.
- Deletion Controls
- General GDPR rights exist; no inference-content deletion control or TTL was found.
- Caveat
- European cloud/privacy commitments are not equivalent to a documented zero-retention or no-training promise for AI Endpoints.

Before you build with OVHcloud AI Endpoints
Read the classification narrowly
This record has current first-party evidence for some zero-cost hosted inference. The label describes the bounded offer supported by evidence on 2026-09-19; it does not guarantee permanence, production suitability, uptime, latency, model quality, or access from every region.
Resolve the live model route
This snapshot records 7 model IDs. Match the exact ID against the provider's live catalog before using it in code; zero-price routes and aliases can rotate while an older documentation page remains online. The recorded base endpoint is https://oai.endpoints.kepler.ai.cloud.ovh.net/v1, but the provider's current API reference remains authoritative for paths, authentication, and request shape.
Confirm account and billing boundaries
The public evidence does not settle whether an account is required. Confirm the signed-in flow before treating anonymous or credential-free access as available. A payment method is required. A zero-cost allowance can still be useful, but protect the account with provider-side budgets or alerts before sending production traffic. The equivalent paid value shown here prices a documented allowance where possible; it is not cash, guaranteed savings, or protection from overage.
Re-read the prompt policy for your plan
This record classifies the reviewed handling as “Partially private”: Endpoint-specific prompt retention and training commitments were not found. Provider policies can distinguish free, paid, enterprise, opted-in, and feature-specific traffic, so verify the governing terms for the exact account and route that will receive your data.
Follow the evidence, then re-check it
The record links 9 first-party sources covering the offer, catalog, limits, pricing, terms, privacy, or adoption evidence available to the audit. Prefer the newest governing document or live catalog when sources disagree, and submit a correction when a provider changes a material term.
Match the quota to the workload shape
Translate the published allowance into the traffic pattern you actually expect instead of comparing headline totals alone. A daily token pool can look generous while a low requests-per-minute or concurrency ceiling blocks interactive bursts; a high request limit can still fail a long-context job when input, output, or per-request tokens are capped. Separate prompt tokens from generated tokens, include retries and tool calls, and test the largest realistic payload. If the provider documents more than one limit window, the tightest window at your peak load is the practical ceiling. Research, experimental, and community access can also carry eligibility or fair-use constraints that cannot be modeled as a simple number.
Plan fallback without changing the rules
A fallback should preserve more than API syntax. Confirm that the substitute route supports the required modality, context length, streaming behavior, structured output, tools, and safety controls, then compare its prompt-retention and training terms. An OpenAI-compatible request shape does not make providers operationally or contractually equivalent. Decide which errors may trigger a retry, cap retry storms, and prevent an exhausted free route from silently switching to a billable model. If deterministic output matters, record the model revision and sampling settings; rotating aliases and free-model pools can change behavior even when the endpoint remains available.
Monitor the offer as a dependency
Capture the model ID, response model field, rate-limit headers, usage fields, latency, HTTP status, and any provider request identifier for each test. Watch for authorization failures, quota exhaustion, catalog removal, policy revisions, and dashboard balance changes as separate failure modes. Re-check the provider’s live catalog and governing pages on a schedule proportionate to the workload’s importance, and keep the dated sources that supported your decision. Free capacity is especially suitable for prototypes, evaluations, fallbacks, and bounded workloads when the application can tolerate change; a production dependency still needs observability, an exit path, and an owner responsible for re-verification.
Test one complete request before scaling
Start with the smallest permitted request using the exact credential, model ID, endpoint, and account type you intend to deploy. Record the HTTP status, response headers, usage fields, latency, and any dashboard balance change. Then exercise the failure path: an invalid model, an exhausted quota, or a rate-limit response should fail clearly without silently switching to a paid route. If the provider supports streaming or tool calls, validate those features separately because a free model can expose a narrower capability set than its paid counterpart. Keep a budget ceiling outside the application whenever billing is possible, and avoid sending sensitive data until the observed route matches the reviewed data agreement.
