Choose your AI model

Select the model that suits your needs

Fundarem and all your stored data are built to stay in your own Azure tenant in the EU, whichever model you pick. Which models you may use, the frame, is chosen with us at setup; inside it, your admin picks the model. Here is what to weigh, how the five offerings compare, and where each one processes a prompt. Every figure links to the public page it came from.

Choose your AI model. For “Compliance”, you see where each model processes a prompt before you pick it.

What to weigh

Four things decide the right model

What differs between the offerings is the price, how good the model is at your work, where it processes a prompt, and how fast it answers.

  • Cost

    Most offerings are paid per token on your Azure invoice. Your own GPU machine is paid by the hour, used or not.

  • Quality

    How well the model does your work. Each offering below shows public benchmark scores for code and other tasks, where they exist. There is no public accounting or finance benchmark for these models yet.

  • Compliance

    Where a prompt is processed. The EU models and your own machine keep it in the EU; the default model, the frontier models in Foundry and a vendor's own API process it outside the EU.

  • Speed

    Typical latency is low on the Azure AI Foundry offerings and medium on your own machine.

Your stored data is built to stay in the EU, always

Whichever model you pick, Fundarem and all your stored data are built to stay in your own Azure tenant in an EU region. Only the prompt of a request goes to the model, and with the default model that prompt is processed outside the EU.

The best models at the lowest price, and no cut for us

We always offer the best models and look for the lowest price, because we earn nothing on them. You pay Microsoft for the model directly, one to one, on your own Azure invoice: we take no cut of the tokens and have no part in that transaction. A model vendor’s own API, outside Azure, bills you directly too. What you pay us is a monthly fee plus a fee per active user, priced on request.

Combine models inside the frame you choose

The frame is where your requests may be processed, chosen with us at setup. Inside it, models can be combined by how hard the task is. For example, with EU-only processing: the strongest EU Data Zone model on Azure AI Foundry for hard work, and a cheaper Azure AI Foundry model processed in the EU for simple tasks. Fundarem is built to send each kind of task to its own model. Your admin chooses that combination in the admin panel, and newer models are added inside your frame as they arrive with software updates.

The frame, for example EU-only, is chosen with us at setup and locked: your IT admin sees it but cannot change it. Inside the frame, your admin picks which model takes which kind of task, and can give each agent its own model. Only we change the frame later, on your request.

Model frames

The frames, and why you would pick each

Which models you may use is set once, with us, at setup. Pick the choice that fits how strict you must be about where a prompt is processed and what you want to pay. Each choice lists the models it gives you today, with public test scores and how you pay. A dash (—) means there is no public figure in our sources yet.

  • Azure Europe

    Pick it when no prompt may be processed outside the EU.

    Every prompt is processed by Azure inside the EU data zone. It has fewer models than Azure global, 2 in our list today, mostly open-source ones, and new models reach the EU later. It is not the cheapest: the same model costs about 10% more per token here than worldwide. [19] [20] [22] [23]

  • Azure global

    Pick it when you want more models to choose from and can accept that a prompt may be processed in any Azure region worldwide, including outside the EU.

    Everything in Azure Europe, plus the models Azure serves only worldwide, where a prompt may be processed in any Azure region worldwide, including outside the EU: 7 more in our list today, open-source and closed. Your stored data is built to stay in the EU all the same. Because a prompt may leave the EU, you first need a DPIA, a short written assessment of the privacy risk: we provide a template for it.

  • Direct to the model maker

    Pick it when you want a model that its maker sells only on its own service.

    Everything in Azure global, plus models called directly on their maker’s own service, outside Azure. The maker processes the prompt outside the EU and bills you directly. As with Azure global, a DPIA comes first. The anonymiser is on by default: it replaces the personal data it recognises before a prompt is sent.

  • Self-hosted

    Pick it when no prompt may leave machines you run, or you want full control.

    Open-source models run on a GPU machine in your own Azure region, and no model maker sees a prompt. It costs more: you pay for the machine every hour it runs, used or not, and you look after it.

    • NVIDIA H100 (NCads H100 v5), swedencentral: about $6,624 a month pay-as-you-go, or about $1,563 at the Spot price, where Azure may stop the machine. [30]
    • NVIDIA H100 ×8 (NDsr H100 v5), swedencentral: about $93,306 a month pay-as-you-go, or about $17,243 at the Spot price, where Azure may stop the machine. [34]

    You pay for the machine every hour it runs, used or not. The largest open models need the largest machine.

Reasoning score: the GPQA Diamond test of hard expert questions. Coding score: Terminal-Bench 2.1 / SWE-Bench Verified, tests of real programming tasks; the test used is named next to each score. Higher is better. Scores are percent, as published in the cited source.

Prices are list prices in US dollars per million tokens of text sent to the model (in) and written by it (out), from Azure's public price list or the model maker's price page. You pay them directly, with no cut for us. A model on reserved capacity or on your own machine has no price per token.

Open-source models

What an open-source model is, and why it matters

An open-source model, also called open weights, is one whose maker publishes the model files, so anyone may download and run them under the model’s licence. A closed model can only be used through its maker’s service or a cloud that sells it.

  • You can run it yourself

    The same model can run on Azure or on a machine you own, so you can move it later without changing how you work.

  • No lock-in

    If a provider raises its price or stops offering the model, another host, or your own machine, can run the same files.

  • Your prompts can stay with you

    On your own machine, no model maker ever sees a prompt.

  • Read the licence

    Each model has its own licence. Most open ones here use a permissive licence such as Apache-2.0 or MIT; some add conditions. Every model’s licence is listed next to it.

    Pros

    • Open-weights models at open-model prices, billed through your Azure subscription; the same weights can also run on your own machine.
    • No vendor account of ours: the deployment and its key are yours, with Azure governance and access control.
    • The anonymiser is on by default for every model: before a request goes to a model, it replaces the values in the columns your admin marks for masking, and the names, Norwegian national ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers and IBANs it recognises, with placeholders. Your admin can switch it off per kind of personal data, one model route at a time; every other kind stays masked.

    Cons

    • Prompts are processed outside the EU: a third party serves most of these models, and Microsoft currently excludes that hosting from its EU Data Boundary commitments.
    • Pay-per-token for these models is Global Standard; their host has no Data Zone region in the EU.
    • Pay-per-token Fireworks models have a 15-day notice period before retirement.

    • A direct connection to the vendor's own API, with no Azure deployment to set up.
    • Billed by the vendor per token, on your own account with it.

    Cons

Your IT admin

What the IT admin decides

Model frame and models. The frame, the offerings above that fit your data, is chosen with us at setup; you see it but cannot change it. Inside it, choose which model takes which kind of task. Fundarem and your stored data are designed to stay in the EU whichever you choose; the offering decides where prompts are processed — outside the EU for the default, only within the EU for EU Data Zone models and self-hosting.

Private data. Choose, column by column, which private data may reach a model at all. The anonymiser is on by default for every model: before a request goes to a model, it replaces the values in the columns your admin marks for masking, and the names, Norwegian national ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers and IBANs it recognises, with placeholders. Your admin can switch it off per kind of personal data, one model route at a time; every other kind stays masked.

Endpoint. Include the endpoint and its key once, in your own key vault. We never hold a model key for you.

Roles. Decide who may change the model choice. Every change is logged.
