Which model to pick

24 live models have tool calling measured by a real call through the gateway. Models labeled EU sovereign run at European providers; fast-access models are served through US-controlled infrastructure. Prices are per 100,000 tokens, margin and VAT included.

Good to know

• goose relies on tool calling: a model without it can only chat, with every extension disabled.
• With the built-in OpenAI provider instead, the host and the path are separate: OPENAI_HOST=https://getfrontiereai.eu and OPENAI_BASE_PATH=api/v1/chat/completions, or requests answer 404.
• API keys written in config.yaml are ignored; goose reads them from the keyring or the variable.

Where your prompts go

goose runs locally and calls the configured URL; its anonymous usage data collection is off by default.

On our side, a model labeled EU sovereign runs at a European provider, and the gateway itself runs in Paris on Vercel, a US company — our privacy page says so. Billing keeps the model, the token counts and the amount, never the prompt or the reply.
