European AI tools & APIs

European AI models and APIs, from Mistral to Aleph Alpha, for builders who care about sovereignty.

These are AI models and tools you can build with. Whatever you send to an AI, the provider can see. Where the model runs decides which laws protect that data. Mistral AI, from France, builds strong open models that rival the American ones. Aleph Alpha, from Germany, focuses on AI that businesses and governments can trust. You can add AI to your product while keeping data in Europe.
