AI Act
Functions: Runtime for running open models locally (app, CLI, API) and hosted third-party cloud models, including DeepSeek, Gemma, GLM, gpt-oss, Kimi, MiniMax, Mistral and Nemotron, accessed via an Ollama account or API key; tool calling for agent workflows (pricing page, documentation).
Provider’s statement: not publicly documented(the EU AI Act is not mentioned on the retrieved pages). Terms section 5: AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete or inappropriate; users must review outputs before use and should not rely on them for critical decisions without independent verification.
Classification (for review, not legal advice): To be reviewed: customer typically a deployer (Art. 3(4) AI Act), and when integrating via the API possibly the provider of its own AI system. Which obligations apply depends on the specific intended use (check Annex III). The models come from third-party providers; the user also chooses the model. As a deployer, observe Art. 4 AI Act (AI literacy). Not legal advice.
