The platform supports OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs with a simple base URL change, does not train on user data, and provides automatic failover across European providers.", "body_md": "Store and search embeddings on sovereign infrastructure. Managed vector storage for retrieval-augmented generation, wired directly into your AI applications.\n\nMelious runs entirely on EU-based infrastructure. Your data never leaves Europe, and is protected by the world's strictest data protection laws. That's not a compliance checkbox, it's our foundation.\n\nA European platform that gives you one API for the latest open-weight AI models and tools for your AI applications, all running on a network of European infrastructure providers. You get one endpoint, one bill, one set of values — sovereignty, privacy, transparency, sustainability — across the whole stack.\n\nDo I have to rewrite my code to switch?\n\nNo. If you're using the OpenAI or Anthropic SDK, point the base URL at api.melious.ai, drop in your Melious API key, and you're done. Same interface, European infrastructure underneath.\n\nDo you train on my data?\n\nNo. Never. Your requests are end-to-end encrypted, stay on European infrastructure, and don't touch any training run — ours or anyone else's. We run inference, not a data collection scheme.\n\nWhat does \"sovereign\" actually mean here?\n\nYour data stays under European jurisdiction. Our infrastructure partners are based across the EU or European Economic Area. No US legal exposure, no foreign government access, no fine print that quietly says otherwise.\n\nWhich models can I use?\n\nYou can use the latest open-weight models across many different categories such as text generation, image generation, audio transcription, embeddings or reranking. Browse the full list in the Hub and switch seamlessly between models by changing one string.\n\nWhat happens if a provider goes down?\n\nRequests are routed across multiple European providers with automatic failover. If one goes offline, your traffic moves to another for high availability without you having to do anything.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sovereign-and-european-ai-where-your-data-stays-under-european-law", "canonical_source": "https://melious.ai/", "published_at": "2026-08-01 17:48:12+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-01 17:52:18.786311+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Melious", "OpenAI", "Anthropic"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sovereign-and-european-ai-where-your-data-stays-under-european-law", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sovereign-and-european-ai-where-your-data-stays-under-european-law.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sovereign-and-european-ai-where-your-data-stays-under-european-law.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sovereign-and-european-ai-where-your-data-stays-under-european-law.jsonld"}}
