But there are often considerable differences behind the fa\u00e7ade. Whether a model is truly <em>trustworthy<\/em> depends not only on its performance, but above all on its transparency, its license and the legal framework in which it operates. The differences become clear when you look at the individual players operating worldwide. <!-- notionvc: 5446abed-4364-4af9-a45a-e8dac46c02ba --><br \/>\n<!-- notionvc: 456ec290-f57c-4074-b5b4-730b42297b7e --><!-- notionvc: 2854c8be-af81-460f-a385-9e20e94f8491 -->[\/nectar_highlighted_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;15523&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;40px&#8221; top_padding_phone=&#8221;12vw&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;10px&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; column_padding_type=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;700&#8243;]\n<h3>AI models from the USA<!-- notionvc: a4a0e6ab-938c-4080-8fcf-7d4de029ba69 --><\/h3>\n<p><!-- notionvc: d8dacc4a-a524-4930-8edc-9a4ef7ab3761 -->[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]<strong><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"0\">Llama:<\/span><\/strong> The Llama models from <a class=\"notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.panter.ch\/en\/stories\/meta-extends-its-ai-reach-to-all-platforms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-token-index=\"2\"><span class=\"link-annotation-unknown-block-id--264517940\">Meta AI<\/span><\/a> are perhaps the strongest competitors to the large closed systems.
