Open weights & AI Act facts

Factual characteristics of this model's weights — stated, not certified. Under the EU AI Act, whether a deployment is compliant depends on the model, your role and your use case.

Open weights

Weights public and freely executable

AI Act class

GPAI — general-purpose AI

Systemic risk

Below the systemic-risk threshold

Data retention

None at Frontière AI; AKI.IO states prompts and outputs are processed in volatile memory and not logged, stored or analysed

Frontière Verified

Our 6-criteria checklist for this model. Each criterion is assessed independently — a checkmark means we ran, recorded and passed the check; an empty circle means not confirmed yet.

Compliance evidence

Provider facts for this model's serving path, as documented by Frontière AI; the retention row quotes each provider's own documentation where it exists. Dates reflect the most recent documented audit of each fact.

Last verified: 2026-10-13

Provider / operator

AKI.IO

Country

Germany

Ownership / control

German company (AKI.IO GmbH, Berlin) — shareholders not published, no non-EU parent found

Jurisdiction

EU — AKI.IO states inference runs on GPUs in German data centres (AIME GmbH, Berlin; trust level TL5). AKI.IO confirmed in writing on 13 October 2026 that every model served today on its API is TL5 (hosted by AKI.IO in Germany, zero retention, no training). The Alibaba Cloud (Singapore, TL1) entry on its sub-processor list is for marketplace models not launched yet; these will carry their trust level in the model name

Deployment

Managed cloud inference (AIME GPU cloud, Germany)

Data retention

None at Frontière AI; AKI.IO states prompts and outputs are processed in volatile memory and not logged, stored or analysed

Frontière AI retains neither prompts nor completions from API calls; processing is structured to fit a short DPA (Art. 28 GDPR). DPA and subprocessor documentation available on request.

What its label means

This model is run by a French provider (OVHcloud or Scaleway), in data centres in France. It is not a US company, so the CLOUD Act does not reach it the way it reaches a US provider, and under GDPR a foreign court order is only enforceable in the EU through an international agreement (Article 48). That is the SecNumCloud principle — who controls the operator matters more than where the servers sit — applied as a label, not a qualification: this service is not SecNumCloud-qualified. Our gateway runs in Vercel's Paris region (a US company): your prompts pass through it without being stored.

Calling it

The API is OpenAI-compatible. Change base_url and the key, then use this model id:

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://getfrontiereai.eu/api/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["FRONTIERE_KEY"],
)

reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="kolibri-1",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Bonjour"}],
)

One key covers the whole catalog — you switch models by changing a single string.

Pricing

The price you see is the price debited from your prepaid balance, margin and VAT included — not an infrastructure cost. No subscription: top up from €10; calls are refused once the balance reaches zero, and a call already running can take it slightly below — deducted from your next top-up.

What will it cost you?

Pick a workload or type your own token counts: the estimate uses the prices above, margin and VAT included.
