Nosia: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Nosia is an open-source, self-hosted AI platform from Dilolabs. It runs large language models on your own infrastructure and adds RAG over your own documents (PDFs, text, websites, question-answer pairs), connection to tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and an OpenAI-compatible API. Existing OpenAI clients can point at a Nosia instance without code changes. It also offers agent skills written in Ruby, streamed responses and account-based multi-tenancy. Installation uses a script and Docker on Linux, macOS and Windows; the source code is under the MIT licence.

Dilolabs is a French SARL in Rouen and presents Nosia as a product it carries; the company also provides services such as custom applications and help with AI adoption. The site describes self-hosting only: according to the vendor, documents and model interactions stay on your own infrastructure, and no cloud service is mentioned. No parent company is named. Because you host it yourself, you decide on location and model choice; plan for the operation, updates and security that this involves.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Nosia

Nosia is headquartered in France and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Nosia scores best on data residency.

Nosia is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Nosia together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
