Empirical benchmark and cost evaluation (Artificial Analysis)
Frontier open-weight reasoning parity at 1/25th the inference spend
US hyperscalers charge premium metered rates for closed reasoning models. In production European deployments, utility equals completed workflows under certified sovereignty. Independent Artificial Analysis benchmarks verify that frontier open weights match proprietary targets at up to 96.5% lower cost:
-96.5%

Frequently asked questions about sovereign AI alternatives
Direct answers to technical and compliance questions for European CTOs and security teams.
What makes Regolo a GDPR-compliant alternative to US providers?
Regolo is owned and operated by DHH S.p.A. / Seeweb Group with datacenters exclusively inside the European Union (Italy, France, Germany). Because Regolo is not subject to the US CLOUD Act or FISA 702, your data cannot be accessed under extraterritorial foreign warrants. We sign a binding Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under GDPR Article 28.
Can I migrate from OpenAI SDKs without rewriting our codebase?
Yes. Regolo provides an OpenAI REST-compatible endpoint. You only need to set base_url="https://api.regolo.ai/v1" and supply your Regolo API key in your existing Python, TypeScript, or Go client configurations. All tool calls, streaming responses, and chat completions function identically.
How does Regolo achieve lower pricing than hyperscalers?
Regolo operates its own dedicated GPU infrastructure within Seeweb datacenters powered by 100% renewable energy, bypassing middleman cloud markups. The Regolo Core plan (€39/month for 600M tokens) lowers the unit cost to ~€0.065 per million tokens, saving up to 96% compared to metered pay-per-token models.
