Why Tessera
Three pillars. No fine print.
Sovereignty by design
GPU physically in EU, LATAM or US, your choice. Your data never crosses a jurisdiction you didn’t sign for. GDPR and AI Act by architecture for EU; data residency guaranteed for US and LATAM. DPA available across all tiers, public subprocessor list.
Continuity without lock-in
OpenAI v1-compatible API. Open-source models with Apache 2.0 license. If you decide to leave, you leave in an afternoon. We earn the renewal every month.
Models included
One bundle. Five open models. Zero upsell.
Every tier accesses the full catalogue. We don’t bill per model. There’s no "premium" tier hiding the good model behind a paywall.
chat
Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B
Primary chat / reasoning model. 32K context, direct and thinking modes switchable per request. Ideal for assistants, RAG and classification.
Apache 2.0
audio · transcription
Whisper large-v3 + turbo
Multilingual transcription in two flavours on the same endpoint: `large-v3` for top accuracy and `large-v3-turbo` (distilled decoder) up to ~54% faster on long audio. Native ES, EN, PT, CA.
MIT
audio · synthesis
Kokoro 82M TTS
Natural voice synthesis with strong Spanish coverage. Sub-200 ms latency, ideal for IVR and conversational agents.
Apache 2.0
embeddings
Qwen3-Embedding-8B
Embeddings for retrieval, clustering and semantic search. 4,096 dimensions, multilingual, optimized for long contexts.
Apache 2.0
reranker
Qwen3-Reranker-4B
Second-stage RAG reranking. Trained jointly with Qwen3-Embedding-8B (same family, no cross-vendor penalty). Cohere-compatible response shape — drop-in migration from Cohere / Voyage / Jina.
Apache 2.0
When we ship a new model, we tell you a month in advance. 12-month model-freeze clause with opt-in free upgrade.
How it works
Three steps. One afternoon.
-
Step 1: Pick your tier and region
EU for GDPR-bound companies, LATAM for South-American sovereignty, US for companies that prefer American residency. Residency is contracted, not discovered on a status page.
-
Step 2: Change the base_url in your code
Your OpenAI client stays the same. It just points to api.tesseraai.cloud. The rest of the SDK, your Langchain or LlamaIndex code and your prompts stay untouched.
-
Step 3: Pay a flat monthly fee
One invoice, one cell. No surprises on traffic spikes. We earn the renewal every month; no exit clauses to negotiate.
Trying takes 5 minutes and 3 lines of code. Full migration with tests, one day with founder-led support.
Honest comparison
How we compare with the rest.
No asterisks. If something doesn’t apply, we put a dash.
Pricing
One invoice. One cell.
Flat fee, dedicated GPU on Pro and above, no token-meter or seasonality surcharges.

Commercial honesty
Who Tessera fits. And who it doesn’t.
We don’t compete on raw price against the cheap end of the market. If we fit, you save money and headaches; if we don’t fit, we tell you on the first call.
Tessera fits if
- You spend €2,000–5,000 a month on frontier today (GPT-5.5, Opus 4.7, Gemini Pro) and the monthly variance complicates your reporting.
- Your DPO or legal team asks where customer data physically lives, and the answer matters.
- You want to consolidate invoices instead of running three different cloud providers.
- You need human support in English or Spanish, in European, Latin American or US business hours, with bounded response times.
- Your team builds product, not ML infrastructure — you want a drop-in that works, not a -90% optimization on prompt caching.
Tessera doesn’t fit if
- You already use Gemini Flash-Lite or GPT-5.4 nano and it works for you — that’s your win, not Tessera’s.
- Your traffic is extremely bursty (0 to 10,000 RPM in seconds). Per-token serverless beats dedicated GPU.
- You have an in-house ML team that optimizes every prompt and squeezes hyperscaler volume discounts.
- You need specific closed models (GPT-4o image, Sora, Veo) that only run in their native cloud.
If your case sits in the right column, we tell you on the first conversation. We don’t push contracts that don’t fit.
