What stays continental

Four commitments the model
will not negotiate.

A short read of how Mirage keeps weights, evaluation and data residency under continental governance — without slowing the open-source release cadence our developer cohort depends on.

01

Weights stay open, the license stays plain.

Two flagship checkpoints per year ship under Apache 2.0 with reproducible training logs — no audit clause, no field-of-use rider, no email gate.

02

Inference resides in-region by default.

Three continental clusters in Paris, Frankfurt and Stockholm route requests without leaving jurisdiction; cross-border calls require an explicit per-tenant toggle.

3 clusters · explicit egress
03

Evaluation is public, dated, signed.

Every release ships with a 240-task evaluation card, the eval set hash, and the date the suite was frozen — so regressions can be argued, not asserted.

04

Cadence beats announcements — always.

A new minor release every six weeks, a major every six months; deprecation windows run twelve months, never less, so production teams plan past the news cycle.
