Where your prompts go

Here is the route of a message sent to GLM-5.2, end to end. No call to the model leaves Europe: not as a backup, not when servers are busy.

From your browser to EvanescaEvanesca passes your message straight on to Scaleway. It stores neither the prompt nor the answer: both stay in memory only while the answer is written.
Scaleway, ParisScaleway runs GLM-5.2 in Paris, France. It is a French company with no US parent: out of the CLOUD Act's direct reach. Scaleway may keep and read requests that cause errors or look abusive, for up to 14 days (Scaleway's data privacy page).
Back to you, with its passportThe answer comes back with its passport: model, operator, country, and what was kept. Your history lives in your browser; about this message, Evanesca keeps only billing data — tokens and cost.

What it costs

€3.024 per million input tokens and €9.24 per million output tokens, VAT included. Three typical exchanges on GLM-5.2:

COST OF AN EXCHANGE · VAT INCLUDED
Example	Tokens in	Tokens out	Cost
A quick question	300	400	€0.0046
A long document to summarise	15,000	800	€0.0528
A message late in a long conversation	40,000	2,000	€0.1394

€2 of credit covers about 430 quick questions on this model. Reasoning tokens count as output, so a model that thinks first can cost more than these examples. The exact cost of each answer shows under it. All prices.
