Chinese LLM APIs for EU Companies: GDPR, Vendor Review, Latency, and Routing
·
Chinese LLMEU AIGDPRDeepSeekQwen
EU companies evaluating Chinese LLM APIs should combine technical testing with privacy and vendor review.
Key questions
Ask:
- what data is sent to providers?
- where is it processed?
- how long is it retained?
- can customers opt out of providers?
- how are logs protected?
- which model handles which task?
Technical testing
Measure latency from EU infrastructure, structured output, cost, fallback, and model quality.
Final thoughts
Chinese LLM APIs can fit EU products, but GDPR and vendor governance must be clear before production use.
