Core principles and values of Kontinent

Kontinent helps teams in Europe source and optimize AI usage. We believe the future is multi-model, multi-provider, and EU-resident.

Why Kontinent?

EU data residency. Requests are served from EU regions. Each model carries a sovereignty tier so you can require an EU-owned provider.

Price and performance. A smart router you configure classifies each request and picks among the models you allow, for cost, latency, or reliability. See routing policies.

Standardized API. No need to change code when switching between models or providers. Point any OpenAI SDK at Kontinent. See One API for every model.

Zero retention. Prompt and completion bodies are never stored or logged. Only metadata survives a request. See Privacy & retention.

Consolidated billing. Prepaid credits in EUR, one balance regardless of how many providers you use. See Rate limits & credits.

Higher availability. Fallback providers and automatic routing mean your requests still work when a provider goes down. See Maximum availability for what is covered.
