Our take
OpenAI is a first-party host for its own models, and its compliance posture is unusually well documented: an EU-region endpoint, no training on prompts, and an independent security attestation. It is also where the cheapest rate on its own small models sits.
Use it for production work on OpenAI's own models where a documented compliance posture matters, or where a small model fits the job and the rate is the deciding factor. Check which offer you are picking, because the same model is listed at more than one rate. Skip it if you need a zero-retention guarantee confirmed, or if you want to run a model yourself rather than reach it through a host.
- An EU-region endpoint, a no-training commitment and an independent security attestation, all three documented rather than assumed.
- The cheapest tracked rate on its own small models, so a cost-sensitive job can start at the bottom of the range.
- No zero-retention option is listed in our data, so a reader who needs that guarantee cannot confirm it here.
- The same model appears at more than one rate, so what you pay depends on which offer you pick.
