European model infrastructure

Your policy comes first.

LLM EU — Large Language Model Europa. One catalogue, one router, one EU host.

European AI for language models: a catalogue of EU-hosted models, a policy-aware router and an OpenAI-compatible API. One catalogue. One API. One jurisdiction.

Hosting entries describe configured endpoints, not proof of live GPU capacity. Check the deployment status before use. Status →

Beyond the catalogue: the compute swarm is a blueprint, and the engineering blog records what this project decided and measured.

Europe does not need another chatbot. It needs the place its models live.

The routing principle

Nothing leaves the permitted set.

Hub — the catalogue

Every model Europe runs, in one place: model cards, providers, hosting regions, licenses, benchmarks and the documents behind them. Cards we have not checked are marked unverified.

Router — one API

One OpenAI-compatible endpoint chooses a model under your policy. Residency, budget and allow lists are decided before the request leaves, and the decision is written to the trace.

Host — EU infrastructure

First-party inference on infrastructure LLM EU operates or tightly controls, in EU regions, under EU law. Open weights can be hosted on request.

Residency is a property of the request

Hosting →

Every endpoint carries a region and a hosting class. If your policy allows only the EU and no EU endpoint can serve the request, the request fails. It is not quietly sent somewhere else.

Pick a task, not a model

Tasks →

Describe what you need — transcription, German legal text, code review, embeddings — and the router maps the task to models that are documented for it in the regions you allow.

Verified means documented

Verified →

A verified card shows where the claim comes from: provider documentation or a license text. Where we have no source, the card says so. Verified is a documentation status, not a legal certificate.

Built with the people who run these models

Community →

Providers correct their own cards. Researchers send evaluations we can cite. If a card is wrong, the correction is public and dated.

Quickstart

API — OpenAI-compatible, one base URL.

Compare

Put two to four models side by side on the fields that decide a deployment: context, price, region, license, languages, hosting, and what is verified.

Benchmarks

A verified claim on LLM EU says where it comes from: a document you can open, or a value recorded on the endpoint row.
