The models. Choose them, keep your data.
Maurice is tied to no AI company. The model is the cook: you can change it without changing house. Your conversations, your notes and what Maurice knows of you stay where they are.
In Europe, no key to provide.
On a hosted Maurice, the models are served in Paris by Scaleway, like the rest of your instance. They process each request to answer it and do not keep it to train on. You have nothing to connect: it comes out of your credit.
They are open models, chosen for what they give for the price. The everyday one answers almost everything, for under two cents a message.

Changing model is one gesture.
1
For a conversation.
The pill above the message field lists your Maurice’s models. Your choice becomes your everyday model.
2
For a domain.
A domain can have a model of its own: a more careful one for writing, a quicker one for daily things.
3
To the cent.
If you want, each reply shows what it cost, in euros, with the breakdown a tap away.
At home, on your own machine.
If you host Maurice yourself, you choose your providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Scaleway, or local models with Ollama, free and unmetered. Nothing then leaves your house.
Self-hosting →Questions
Are my conversations used to train the models?
No. On a hosted Maurice, Scaleway processes each request to answer it and does not keep it to train models. Each provider receives only what it needs to answer the message at hand.
What does the model see?
The message, the useful history of the conversation, and what you loaded into it or Maurice found in your notes to answer. Nothing more.
If I change model, do I lose anything?
No. The memory lives in your instance, not in the model: the new model finds the same notes, the same domains, the same conversations.
The model changes, the house stays.
