What Do We Mean When We Say Sovereign AI?
A practical framework for separating data, infrastructure, model, and jurisdictional sovereignty instead of treating sovereignty as a binary label.

Why EU-first matters
Sovereign AI starts with routing control
European AI adoption is moving from experimentation to governed rollout. Kilo helps teams standardize AI coding without giving up provider choice or regional strategy.
Data Residency Expectations
European teams increasingly need to document where source code, prompts, and AI inference requests are processed.
Provider Independence
Avoid being locked into one cloud, one model vendor, or one regional strategy as AI regulations and provider options evolve.
Audit-Ready Controls
Centralize approved model and provider decisions instead of relying on every developer to configure AI tools manually.
Start with requirements, not labels
Build your EU AI coding rollout plan
Work through eight focused steps covering priorities, product surfaces, inference, compute, model access, and governance to get a tailored Kilo plan.
What Kilo supports today
Be precise about what stays in the EU
Kilo gives Enterprise teams the controls to build an EU-first setup, while keeping the caveats visible for open-weight provider routes and frontier lab regional availability.
EU-hosted open-weight modelsAvailableThrough EU providers such as Inceptron in Kilo Gateway or BYOK.
EU cloud computeEnterpriseGuaranteed EU-based infrastructure for Cloud Agents and compute workloads.
EU data residencyEnterpriseScoped across the selected compute, inference, and product data paths.
Provider allowlistsEnterpriseAdmins can restrict available providers and models for teams.
Per-sub-org EU policyEnterpriseLock individual business units to EU-only routes while others retain broader access.
BYOK regional endpointsProvider-dependentUse your own provider keys and regional endpoints where your provider supports them.
Frontier lab EU endpointsProvider-dependentRegional availability differs by OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, and other frontier providers.
White-glove EU setupEnterpriseKilo can help scope an EU-first rollout.
Provider controls
Make approved EU routes visible and enforceable
Enterprise provider configuration gives teams a concrete way to turn EU-first policy into day-to-day developer defaults. Admins can approve EU providers, restrict model access, and keep unsupported routes out of the engineering workflow.
Data & Privacy
Kilo is a coding agent, not a model provider
We don't host models, we don't train on your code or prompts, and we don't retain them for our own purposes. Kilo routes inference requests to the providers you choose and your data stays governed by those provider agreements.
No model hosting
Kilo does not operate model compute or serve models. Kilo Gateway routes managed and BYOK requests to the provider you configure: EU-hosted, frontier lab, or another approved endpoint.
No training on your code
Kilo does not use your code or prompts to train models or retain them for its own purposes. Product terms and the selected provider's data handling policy still apply.
Full transparency

European inference partner
Inceptron brings EU-hosted open-weight models to Kilo
Inceptron is one example of the EU provider strategy Kilo supports: European-hosted inference for open-weight models through Kilo Gateway and BYOK workflows. Teams can pair providers like Inceptron with other approved EU routes and frontier lab regional endpoints where available.

A practical path to an EU-only provider policy
Start with approved providers, enforce those choices centrally, then apply the same policy across the Kilo surfaces your developers already use.
Step 1
Choose Approved Providers
Start with EU providers for open-weight models, EU-hosted frontier endpoints, and BYOK routes approved by your security and compliance teams.
Step 2
Set Organization Controls
Use Enterprise provider and model restrictions so developers only see the options your organization has approved.
Step 3
Deploy Everywhere Developers Work
Apply the same provider strategy across IDEs, CLI, Cloud Agents, Slack workflows, and Code Reviews.
Enterprise governance
Centralize AI coding policy for European teams
Kilo for Enterprise gives platform, security, and engineering leaders the controls they need to adopt AI coding without letting every team pick its own unmanaged provider path.
SSO, SCIM, and RBAC
Control who can access Kilo and apply the right permissions across your organization.
Provider and Model Allowlists
Keep teams inside approved provider routes without blocking the AI workflows they rely on.
Usage Analytics
Track adoption, spend, and model usage centrally instead of managing fragmented tool setups.
BYOK Flexibility
Use existing provider contracts and regional endpoint configurations where your vendors support them.
Sub-org Policy Controls
Apply EU-only model, provider, region, and inference rules to specific subsidiaries or business units from one central organization.
