| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional Based on published licence terms, GPT-OSS 20B is released under Apache 2.0 with no field-of-use carve-outs in the licence itself; OpenAI publishes a separate non-binding 'gpt-oss usage policy' as guidance. Training-data disclosure is domain-level only, and US origin carries Schrems-II / CLOUD-Act exposure that enterprise deployers should document for EU workloads. | Conditional Based on published licence terms, Mistral 7B Instruct v0.2 is an EU-origin open-weight model under standard Apache 2.0 — commercial deployment and self-hosting are permitted without field-of-use restrictions. Training-data opacity is the primary EU AI Act Art. 53 gap, but the French controller, absence of CLOUD Act exposure, and Mistral's published DPA make this a strong baseline for regulated EU workloads. |
