| Verdict | EU-ready German-sovereign, built for defence, banking, public sector. Standard deployment is on-premise. | Conditional Fastest inference on the market (LPU hardware) but US-hosted with no EU region currently advertised. Fine for R&D and non-personal-data workloads; not deployable for regulated EU PII. |
