Sference is live on Opper: European inference for frontier open models

Sference's managed inference is now available through the Opper gateway on a European route, with compute inside the EEA and zero data retention on by default. Kimi K3, GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4 Flash, Qwen3.6 35B-A3B, Qwen3-VL 30B, and ThinkingCap are callable with an Opper API key today.

Your Batch Pipeline Is Running Realtime Inference: The LET Trilemma

Prefect, Airflow, and Pydantic AI teach synchronous realtime inference patterns even inside batch DAGs, defeating the economic purpose of batch orchestration. We introduce the LET trilemma — latency, efficiency, throughput: pick two — and show how Sference reclaims batch economics.
