--- title: AI providers and data zones in Make slug: ai-providers-and-data-zones-in-make description: Learn which AI provider each Make AI feature uses and which data region applies, so you know where your data goes. image: https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/oAyFj2GHlBeBVWF5OAir2/_Of0g4JG3kBZvkOgEFRr0_domino-zoomin-purple-a-1.png docTags: createdAt: 2026-08-31T10:41:59.465Z --- Every AI feature in Make sends your request to an AI provider for processing. This page lists in detail which AI provider is used and which physical region actually processes your data. Make updates this page as more features confirm their data zone. :::hint{type="danger"} Selecting the EU1 or EU2 data zone does not automatically mean every request gets processed and stays in the EU. Most Make-native AI processing does stay in the EU on an EU zone, but a few features and models always route to the US, some route to the UK (not the EU), and bringing your own AI provider connection removes Make's EU guarantee entirely. Use the quick-reference table below to check your specific feature or model before relying on EU-only residency. ::: ## Data zone vs. Data region Your **Data zone **is the Make setting on your organization (US1, US2, EU1, EU2). The **Data region **is where the AI provider physically processes the request. | **Data region** | **Description** | **Data zone** | | --------------- | ------------------- | ------------- | | EU | Processed in the EU | EU1, EU2 | | US | Processed in the US | US1, US2 | ## Requests processed in the US by default The following features send your request to the US regardless of your selected data zone.

This table lists the custom AI providers you can connect to Make. It also shows whether your requests are guaranteed to be processed in the EU despite your data zone selection. | **AI provider** | **Routing determined by** | **EU processing guaranteed?** | | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | | Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry) | The region of the Azure AI Foundry / Azure resource you created. | Yes | | Amazon Bedrock (deprecated) | The key, secret, and data zone you enter directly in the connection. | Yes | | Other OpenAI-compatible providers | The endpoint you enter in the connection. | Yes | | Anthropic Claude | Uses the provider's default endpoint. Routing follows your API key / billing project with Anthropic. | No | | OpenAI | Uses the provider's default endpoint.

Routing follows your API key settings with Google. | No | | Mistral AI | Mistral's own routing via api.mistral.ai/v1.

If your requirement is EU-only residency, select Sonnet 5.5, Sonnet 5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8, Opus 4.7, or Haiku 4.5 instead. ::: | **Model family** | **Model** | **Data processing region for Make US zones (US1/US2)** | **Data processing region for Make EU zones (EU1/EU2)** | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | | Anthropic Claude | Haiku 5.5 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Opus 5.5 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Sonnet 5.5 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Fable 5.1 | US | US | | Anthropic Claude | Fable 5 | US | US | | Anthropic Claude | Sonnet 5 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Opus 5 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Opus 4.8 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Opus 4.7 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Sonnet 4.6 | US | London (UK) | | Anthropic Claude | Opus 4.6 | US | London (UK) | | Anthropic Claude | Sonnet 4.5 | US | US | | Anthropic Claude | Haiku 4.5 | US | Sweden, Ireland | | Anthropic Claude | Opus 4.5 | US | US | | OpenAI | GPT-.1 Sol | US | US | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | S | | OpenAI | GPT-5.6 Sol | US | US | | OpenAI | GPT-5.6 Terra | US | US | | OpenAI | GPT-5.6 Luna | US | US | | OpenAI | GPT-5.5 | US | US | | OpenAI | GPT-5.4 | US | US | | OpenAI  | GPT-5.4 mini | US | US | | OpenAI  | GPT-5.4 nano | US | US | | OpenAI  | GPT-5.2 | US | US | | OpenAI | GPT-5.1 | US | US | | OpenAI  | GPT-5 | US | US | | OpenAI  | GPT-5 mini | US | US | | OpenAI  | GPT-5 nano | US | US | :::: :::ExpandableHeading ## Data regions for Make's AI services This table covers Make's own built-in AI-powered features and shows where each one's data is processed. | **Component / Service** | **AI provider(s)** | **Data processing region for Make US Data zones (US1/US2)** | **Data processing region for Make EU Data zones (EU1/EU2)** | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Maia | OpenAI | US | US | | Make AI Toolkit | Make's AI Provider, or your own AI provider connection | Depends on the provider/connection you configure. | Depends on the provider/connection you configure. | | Make AI Agent (New) | Make's AI Provider | Depends on the provider/connection you configure. | Depends on the provider/connection you configure. | | Make AI Agent (New) | Custom AI providers | Depends on the provider/connection you configure. | Depends on the provider/connection you configure. | | Make AI Web Search | OpenAI | US | US | | MCP Client | Make's AI Provider | See [AI providers and data zones in Make](docId\:YYApFrdoIAhmheYRPKk9M) | See [AI providers and data zones in Make](docId\:YYApFrdoIAhmheYRPKk9M) | | MCP Client | OpenAI | Uses the provider's default endpoint.
