# In-region inference, open models, and new European infrastructure for sovereign AI.

Mistral's Regional Endpoints are generally available, its Priority Tier is in public preview, and GLM-5.2 is the first third-party open model supported.

- Regional Endpoints let customers choose inference in Europe or the US, with processing in the selected region.
- Priority Tier offers committed service levels, custom rate limits, and an uptime SLA.
- Mistral says it is the only European AI lab offering both regional choice and SLA-backed service.
- European Compute Units (ECUs) convert multi-year enterprise commitments into access to Mistral-built infrastructure.
- Mistral plans to build up to 1 GW of capacity by 2030.

## Why it matters

Enterprises and governments in Europe can now run open models like GLM-5.2 on Mistral infrastructure with regional control and SLA-backed service, and secure long-term compute capacity through ECUs.
