Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to common questions about average token pricing, sovereign compliance, and Regolo Core economics.
How do average market token rates compare to Regolo Core?
Mainstream AI providers charge between €0.95 and €2.10 per million blended tokens for open-weight models like Qwen 2.5/3.8 and GLM-4/5.2. Regolo Core bundles 600 Million tokens for a flat €39/month fee, lowering the effective unit cost to €0.065 per million tokens—reducing total token spend by 93% to 96.5%.
What does certified Zero Data Retention mean for European deployments?
Zero Data Retention guarantees that user prompts, embeddings, and model completions are processed strictly in volatile memory (RAM) and never written to persistent disk storage or used for model retraining. All Regolo infrastructure is hosted in 100% European green datacenters compliant with GDPR and European data sovereignty laws.
Can I replace OpenAI API endpoints with Regolo without code changes?
Yes. Regolo maintains full compatibility with the OpenAI REST API format and official client SDKs (Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go). Switching providers requires only changing the base URL to
https://api.regolo.ai/v1 and supplying your Regolo bearer token.Build sovereign AI with Regolo Core (€39/mo)
