## Call Grok only in the EU

Every route has its own model id. Call that id on any plan and the request is served on that route, in that location. The examples below call Grok 4.3 on xAI in Ireland.

### Set it up with your agent

Copy this into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it will wire up Opper and call this route.

```text
Use curl to download, read and follow: https://skills.opper.ai Call Grok 4.3 on the EU route xai-zdr/grok-4.3-eu
```

### Or call it directly

```bash
curl https://api.opper.ai/v3/compat/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPPER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "xai-zdr/grok-4.3-eu",
    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }]
  }'
```

### Lock it in with a rule

A model access rule with Inference location: EU, set for your organization or a project, means no LLM or embedding call can reach a route outside the EU, even by mistake. Rules are part of the Control Plane. [How model access rules work](https://docs.opper.ai/control-plane/rules/model-access)

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Grok available in the EU?

Yes. 4 of the 14 Grok models on Opper run on EU routes, on xAI in Ireland. Call the route's model id and the request is served in the EU.

### Which Grok models run in the EU?

Grok 4.3, Grok 4, Grok 4.20 Non-Reasoning and Grok 4.20 Reasoning. Not in the EU yet: Grok 3 Mini, Grok 3 Mini Beta, Grok 4.1 Fast Non-Reasoning, Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning, Grok 4.20 0309 Non Reasoning, Grok 4.20 0309 Reasoning, Grok 4.5, Grok 4.6, Grok 4.7 and Grok Build 0.1.

### Is Grok GDPR (DSGVO) compliant in the EU?

Running Grok on an EU route keeps processing in the EU, which settles where your data goes. The rest depends on your own processing and the service's terms. On Opper, one Data Processing Agreement covers Grok and every other model, Opper is your single sub-processor, and each route lists what the provider keeps and whether it trains on your data. Opper is certified against ISO/IEC 27001:2022; the controls, policies and sub-processors are on https://trust.opper.ai. [Read the DPA](https://opper.ai/data-processing-agreement)

### Does Grok cost more in the EU?

No. Comparing input prices, every Grok model that also runs elsewhere costs the same or less on its cheapest EU route.

### How do I make sure Grok calls never leave the EU?

On any plan, call an EU route's model id and the request is served there. To lock it in, set a model access rule with Inference location: EU for your organization or a project, and no LLM or embedding call to Grok can reach a route outside the EU, even by mistake. Rules are part of the Control Plane. [Model access rules](https://docs.opper.ai/control-plane/rules/model-access)

## Read this list from an agent

The same routes as JSON: https://opper.ai/models/eu.json. The whole catalogue is public JSON at https://api.opper.ai/v3/models, and coding agents that use MCP can search it with list_models at https://api.opper.ai/mcp.
