OpenAI adds API inference residency in India
See how this story connectsOpenAI has introduced API inference residency in India, so eligible customers can process API requests and run model computations in the country for supported GPT-6 Luna workloads. Supported customer content is also stored in India. The offering covers input and output through the Responses and Chat Completions APIs for text uses such as document summarisation, drafting responses and analysing information. OpenAI’s developer documentation says regional processing in India requires an organisation with active Zero Data Retention and uses the in.api.openai.com endpoint.
Why it matters
Regulated firms in India, such as financial services, can process supported GPT-6 Luna workloads and store customer content in the country by selecting India as the region for a new API project.
