OVHai LLM: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

OVHai LLM develops specialised language models, formerly under the name Dragon LLM, with a focus on the financial sector. The offering covers custom LLM solutions for front, middle and back office, open-source models on Hugging Face, and the VERTO platform. VERTO processes documents in financial language: extracting data, transcribing and translating, a RAG-based Document Analyser that reads text and images, and shared glossaries. A free 14-day trial is offered.

The brand belongs to OVH LLM, a French SAS with its registered office in Roubaix. According to the site, the company has been a subsidiary of OVH since April 2026, also a French group. The site does not say where the models and the VERTO platform run; only the website itself is hosted by Scaleway. Ask the vendor about hosting location and sub-processors. For a European organisation this is a French provider with no foreign parent company stated on the site, and it positions itself explicitly as European.

Why digital sovereignty matters with OVHai LLM

OVHai LLM 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 OVHai LLM scores best on data residency.

OVHai LLM is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

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