Résidence et régions

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

Propriété UE, exploitation UE: An EU company owns and operates the infrastructure in the EU. A classification, not a legal guarantee against disclosure.
Région UE d'une société mère 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.
Entrée de catalogue, hébergement non documenté: A catalogue entry with no LLM EU inference. Its processing location is unverified.

Ces quatre libellés remplacent le mot seul souverain, que nous n'utilisons pas seul. Un modèle n'est dit souverain qu'avec sa classe et sa région à côté, car la propriété, l'exploitation et la juridiction sont trois faits différents.

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.

Region	Country	Class	Operator (configuration)
de-ber	DE	Propriété UE, exploitation UE	llmeu
de-fra	DE	Propriété UE, exploitation UE	llmeu
eu-owned	EU	Propriété UE, exploitation UE	llmeu
eu-region	EU	Région UE d'une société mère non-UE	hyperscaler

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.
