# Regional Model Availability (US vs EU)

**Regional Model Availability (US vs EU)** refers to the geographic restrictions on which foundation models can be accessed through [Foundation Model APIs](/concepts/foundation-model-apis.md) in different workspace regions. Certain models are only available in US regions for pay-per-token workloads, while others are supported in both US and EU regions. ^[foundation-model-apis-compliance-and-security-databricks-on-aws.md]

## US-Only Models

The following models are supported **only** in Foundation Model APIs pay-per-token supported US regions: ^[foundation-model-apis-compliance-and-security-databricks-on-aws.md]

- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.1
- Meta Llama 3.1 405B Instruct
- BGE Large (En)

## EU and US Models

The following models are available in **both EU and US** pay-per-token supported regions: ^[foundation-model-apis-compliance-and-security-databricks-on-aws.md]

**OpenAI Models:**
- OpenAI GPT-5.5 Pro
- OpenAI GPT-5.5
- OpenAI GPT-5.4
- OpenAI GPT-5.4 mini
- OpenAI GPT-5.4 nano
- OpenAI GPT-5.3 Codex

- OpenAI GPT-5.1
- OpenAI GPT-5.1 Codex Max
- OpenAI GPT-5.1 Codex Mini

**Anthropic Models:**
- Anthropic Claude Fable 5
- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8
- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.7
- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6
- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5
- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6
- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5

## Accessing Models from Non-EU/US Regions

If your workspace is not in an EU or US region but is in a supported Model Serving region, you can enable [Cross-Geo Data Processing](/concepts/cross-geo-data-processing.md) to access the models listed in the EU and US category. ^[foundation-model-apis-compliance-and-security-databricks-on-aws.md]

## Compliance Considerations

Regional model availability interacts with compliance standards. Pay-per-token workloads are HIPAA compliant, but other compliance standards (PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, IRAP, CCCS, UK Cyber Essentials Plus) are not currently supported for pay-per-token workloads. [Provisioned Throughput](/concepts/provisioned-throughput.md) workloads support the full range of compliance standards and are recommended for workloads requiring certifications beyond HIPAA. ^[foundation-model-apis-compliance-and-security-databricks-on-aws.md]
