Introducing CIPHER TECH: A Token Factory for European SMEs

Why we are building sovereign AI infrastructure in Amsterdam and what it means for European businesses.

Europe has no shortage of AI ambition. What it needs is infrastructure that respects its values. CIPHER TECH was founded in Amsterdam to give small and medium enterprises a sovereign alternative to hyperscaler AI: on-demand model APIs, private hosting, and an intelligent local gateway — all engineered in the EU.

We call it the Token Factory because AI should be as measurable and controllable as any other utility. You pay for tokens, not for lock-in.

Why Amsterdam?

Amsterdam is a digital gateway to Europe. From here, we can reach Frankfurt, London, Stockholm, and Paris with sub-30 millisecond latency while keeping data under EU jurisdiction.

What is in scope today?

Our launch platform offers OpenAI-compatible access to more than 50 frontier and open-weight models, with transparent per-token pricing and the option to deploy private instances for regulated workloads.

Over the coming months we will add more models, more regions, and deeper governance tooling. If you are building with AI in Europe, we would love to hear from you.

Put this into practice.

Every model in the catalog is reachable through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, from EU infrastructure.
