# R%C3%A9sidence et r%C3%A9gions

Four distinct classes for ownership, operation and location. They are not interchangeable and do not confer immunity from legal disclosure obligations.

- D%C3%A9tenu dans l'UE, exploit%C3%A9 dans l'UE
  An EU company owns and operates the infrastructure in the EU. A classification, not a legal guarantee against disclosure.
- R%C3%A9gion UE d'une soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9 m%C3%A8re non-UE
  Processing in an EU region, but the parent company is outside the EU. The location is European; the jurisdiction is not exclusively so.
- Sur site chez le client
  The model runs inside infrastructure the customer controls.
- Entr%C3%A9e de catalogue, h%C3%A9bergement non document%C3%A9
  A catalogue entry with no LLM EU inference. Its processing location is unverified.

Ces quatre %C3%A9tiquettes remplacent le mot souverain employ%C3%A9 seul, que nous n'utilisons pas isol%C3%A9ment. Un mod%C3%A8le n'est dit souverain qu'accompagn%C3%A9 de sa classe et de sa r%C3%A9gion, car la propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9, l'exploitation et la juridiction sont trois faits diff%C3%A9rents.

## Regions in the catalogue

Region rows are configuration data, not evidence of running machines or confirmed operator contracts. Seeded endpoints use the mock: dev-mock, no model weights run. Real inference requires a configured backend per region and matching endpoints. Region configuration is not independent geolocation.

## How to constrain it

```
curl https://api.llmeu.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LLMEU_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"llmeu-auto","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}],
       "llmeu":{"residency":"eu-owned"}}'
```

Alternatively, set it in the policy resolved for the request. An empty eligible endpoint set returns 409 no_endpoint_for_policy; failover does not widen it.
