    Classification

    Jurisdiction tier
    EU / EEA — EU member state or EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) — GDPR applies directly.
    Note
    French provider (OVH Groupe SA, Roubaix) and the service is hosted and run in the EU — GDPR applies directly.
    Caveat
    This is infrastructure, not an end-user tool, and the catalogue is mostly US and Chinese open models (Qwen, gpt-oss, Llama, Whisper); the two Mistral models reach end of life on 4 Nov 2026. Batch mode is still in beta without an SLA.
    Compliance level
    Very high — Derived from the verified classification data on this site: Very high = EU/EEA jurisdiction + documented EU data residency + self-hostable option. High = EU/EEA + EU data residency. Medium = adequacy country + residency, or EU/EEA without documented residency. Each underlying claim carries its own source.
