Launch of eu/jev
Bevel has launched eu/jev, the first System One model hosted within the European Union, designed specifically for organizations facing GDPR and data sovereignty challenges. This model operates on Hetzner GPUs located in Germany and ensures that no prompts or responses are retained.
Positioning and Development
eu/jev is positioned as a Jev-like alternative for enterprises unable to utilize models hosted outside the EU. The development team behind Bevel also created UTCP, an open tool-calling protocol that serves as an alternative to MCP.
Technical and Privacy Compliance
According to Bevel, eu/jev is built on Winnow, which is recognized as the leading open-source System One model on JevBench. The deployment is fully compliant with GDPR regulations, and the service operates in a manner identical to Jev.
Access and Pricing
eu/jev is currently available for use and requires payment. Bevel has stated that the pricing structure mirrors that of Jev, which includes free output tokens. The launch emphasizes enterprise deployment and privacy, highlighting the use of German-hosted Hetzner GPUs and the non-retention of conversational data to meet regulatory and sovereignty standards.
