|---|---|---|
| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready Serverless access to 40+ open-weight models, French-hosted. Explicit zero data-retention (billing only) and no training-on-inputs commitment. SecNumCloud qualification is offer-specific at OVHcloud — verify scope before assuming for AI Endpoints. | Conditional US-hosted, US jurisdiction. Training-data lineage overlaps with X/Twitter public posts — verify AI Act source-disclosure obligations for your use case. Legal posture around public-content scraping is still unsettled in EU. |
