Where your prompts go
Here is the route of a message sent to Kolibri 1, 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 AKI.IO. It stores neither the prompt nor the answer: both stay in memory only while the answer is written.
- AKI.IO, GermanyAKI.IO runs Kolibri 1 in Germany: AKI.IO says inference runs on GPU infrastructure in German data centres (AKI.IO, read on 13 Oct 2026). AKI.IO GmbH is a German company in Berlin; its shareholders are not published. As a company under German law, it is out of the CLOUD Act's direct reach. AKI.IO states that “prompts, inputs, and generated outputs are processed in volatile memory and are not logged, stored, or analyzed by AKI.IO” (AKI.IO); its privacy policy keeps usage data — request ID, model, status, timestamps, token usage — for 90 days, for billing and service maintenance (AKI.IO's privacy policy).
- 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
€0.252 per million input tokens and €0.924 per million output tokens, VAT included. Three typical exchanges on Kolibri 1:
| Example | Tokens in | Tokens out | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| A quick question | 300 | 400 | €0.0004 |
| A long document to summarise | 15,000 | 800 | €0.0045 |
| A message late in a long conversation | 40,000 | 2,000 | €0.0119 |
€2 of credit covers about 4,400 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.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Kolibri 1 run on Evanesca?
In Germany, at AKI.IO: AKI.IO says inference runs on GPU infrastructure in German data centres (AKI.IO, read on 13 Oct 2026). AKI.IO GmbH is a German company in Berlin, so your prompts stay out of the CLOUD Act's direct reach. Its shareholders are not published. No call to the model leaves Europe: not as a backup, not when servers are busy.
Does Evanesca keep what I send to Kolibri 1?
No. The prompt and the answer stay in memory only while the answer is written, and your history lives in your browser; about your messages, Evanesca keeps only billing data — tokens and cost. AKI.IO states that “prompts, inputs, and generated outputs are processed in volatile memory and are not logged, stored, or analyzed by AKI.IO” (AKI.IO); its privacy policy keeps usage data — request ID, model, status, timestamps, token usage — for 90 days, for billing and service maintenance (AKI.IO's privacy policy).
How much does Kolibri 1 cost?
€0.252 per million input tokens and €0.924 per million output tokens, VAT included. A quick question — 300 tokens in, 400 out — costs about €0.0004. There is no subscription: credit starts at €2.
Can Kolibri 1 call tools?
Yes: a real call through AKI.IO returned proper tool calls (function calling).
Which licence is Kolibri 1 under?
Apache-2.0. Apache-2.0 is a permissive open-source licence: it allows commercial use.
Which checks has Kolibri 1 passed?
6 of 6: Licence, Provenance, Security, GDPR, Benchmarks and Live test. Its passport shows the same stamps; how each check works.
Does Aleph Alpha see what I type?
No. Aleph Alpha published the weights, and AKI.IO runs them in Germany: your prompts go to AKI.IO, not to Aleph Alpha. AKI.IO adds that “model developers do not receive access to customer inference content through AKI.IO” (AKI.IO, read on 13 Oct 2026).
