| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready German-hosted open-weight inference with BSI C5 + Gaia-X certification. Strong enterprise sovereignty posture for DE-regulated sectors. | Conditional Containerised inference microservices. Sovereignty posture depends entirely on where you run it: on-premise = you control the compliance surface; managed cloud (NVIDIA AI Foundry or DGX Cloud) means US vendor contract. |
