- Eu Procurement Reason
- A German provider running open-weights models on its own ISO 27001-certified German infrastructure, with no third-party model vendor in the data path, no extraterritorial access regime, and the no-training commitment written into the DPA rather than a marketing page. Sovereignty here is structural rather than contractual — there is no configuration a buyer can get wrong.
