## Frequently asked questions

**What is Melious?**
A European platform that gives you one API for the latest open-weight AI models and tools, all running on a network of European infrastructure providers.

**Is it a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI or Anthropic SDK?**
Yes. Point the base URL at https://api.melious.ai and use a Melious API key — no code rewrites required.

**Does Melious train on customer data?**
No. Requests are end-to-end encrypted, stay on European infrastructure, and are never used for training.

Your data stays under European jurisdiction. Infrastructure partners are based across the EU or European Economic Area — no US legal exposure and no foreign-government access.
