Named model options and clearer boundaries
Expanded the directory to 17 provider options and model configurations across GCP, AWS, Azure, OpenAI, Databricks, two smaller Australian providers and the government-only GovAI brokerage.
Added documented Australian processing options for Gemini 3.5 Flash and Flash-Lite in Sydney; DeepSeek V3.2 and Amazon Nova Lite on Bedrock in Sydney; and three Azure Standard configurations in Australia East. Added Databricks GPT-OSS 20B and Gemma 3 12B in Sydney with the Australia–New Zealand Geo boundary visible.
OpenAI’s Australian API storage option is explicitly classified as storage without Australian inference. Smaller-provider processing statements are labelled as provider claims. Databricks’ Australia–New Zealand Geo does not qualify for an Australia-only processing filter.
Still under review
- Numeric prices and billing currency for every region/model combination.
- Current retirement dates, quotas and subscription-level availability.
- Provider-specific retention exceptions, subprocessors, failover and legal operators.
- Government Brokerage’s full model-to-region routing guide and current pilot terms.
- Independent request-level tests for regional API configurations.
