Frequently asked questions
Mistral is European, isn't it already compliant?
Mistral is GDPR-compliant, covering most Loi 25 principles. However, Québec's Loi 25 has specifics (CAI incident reporting, PIA, cross-border transfer documentation). Hosting on Mistral requires an international transfer assessment — not the case with secuAI.
Does secuAI have the same Mistral models?
Yes for open-weight models (Mistral 7B, NeMo, Codestral). For Mistral Large (the editor's proprietary model), we offer an open-source equivalent (Qwen2.5 72B, Llama 3.1 70B) with comparable performance.
Why does secuAI seem more expensive per token?
secuAI uses a predictable CAD per-user flat rate instead of token billing. For 90% of SMBs, the total monthly cost is actually lower than Mistral pay-as-you-go.
Can we fine-tune?
Yes, private fine-tuning on your data (never shared). Our team supports the project — typically 2 to 4 weeks for a business fine-tune.
