Trusted model providers
Some Hugging Face models require custom code provided by the model author in order to run correctly. These models require the trust-remote-code option during deployment.
For security and platform integrity reasons, Exoscale only allows remote code execution for a predefined list of trusted model providers.
Why is trust-remote-code restricted?
When enabled, trust-remote-code allows model-specific Python code from a Hugging Face repository to be executed as part of the model loading process.
While many models use this mechanism legitimately, it also introduces additional security and operational considerations. To ensure a secure and reliable platform for all customers, Dedicated Inference only permits remote code execution for reviewed and approved model providers.
Trusted Model Providers
The following Hugging Face organizations are currently approved for use with trust-remote-code:

This list may evolve over time as additional providers are reviewed and approved.
Requesting Additional Providers
If your model requires trust-remote-code and its provider is not currently approved, you can request a review by opening a support ticket in the Exoscale Portal.
Please include:
- The Hugging Face model URL
- A brief description of your use case
- Any known runtime requirements or custom dependencies
Our team will review the request and determine whether the provider can be added to the trusted-provider allowlist.
Approval is not guaranteed and depends on security, licensing, operational, and compatibility considerations.
Additional Runtime Requirements
Some models require more than the trust-remote-code option. Certain OCR, multimodal, and research-focused models depend on additional Python packages, custom decoding logic, custom logits processors, or other runtime components that are not available in the standard Dedicated Inference environment.
As a result, a model may remain unsupported even if its provider is approved for remote code execution.
Troubleshooting
If you receive an error similar to:
Parameter 'trust-remote-code' is not permitted for model '<model-name>'the model provider is not currently on the trusted-provider allowlist.
To request a review of the provider, follow the process described in the Requesting Additional Providers section.
