SovereignEG is OpenAI-compatible. Change three values — the base URL, the API key and the model name — and your framework or agent app runs on SovereignEG models. Every guide is short, tested, and step by step.
Enterprise AI controls, built in.
Orgs, roles, spend caps and per-project request logs are in the product today, not on a roadmap slide. Enterprise pilots can request our written security review.
Organizations & projects
Two-tier hierarchy mirroring OpenAI: orgs own billing, projects own keys and usage. In team orgs, extra projects can be limited to a model allow-list.
Members & roles
Invite teammates by email into a team org with preset roles (Owner / Member / Viewer); Owners can also define custom roles. Roles are checked server-side for API-key management, playground use and org, project and member administration.
API keys with guardrails
Per-key monthly EGP spend caps, RPM limits and optional expiry. Keys are shown once and can be revoked instantly.
Request logs
Inference calls are logged per project (model, status, latency, tokens, EGP cost), and your team can review the last 30 days in the dashboard.
EGP-native billing
Pay-as-you-go from a prepaid EGP credit balance. Self-serve top-up by card or mobile wallet through Kashier, coupon redemption, transaction history per org, and a PDF invoice for every successful payment.
Per-project spend caps
Optional monthly EGP cap per project (Cairo calendar month), checked before every inference request, with a clear 402 error once it is reached. Requests already running when the cap is reached still finish and are billed, so spend can end above the cap.
From cloud API to sovereign AI hosting in Egypt — one product.
Same API surface, same EGP billing path. Customers don’t re-integrate when their workload moves to SovereignEG.
Standard routing — live today
Available nowOne OpenAI-compatible endpoint, billed in EGP. Most models are served by vetted upstream providers outside Egypt; models marked “Hosted in Egypt” in the catalog are served first from our own GPU in Egypt. Best for product teams shipping today.
Unified API
One base URL and API key for chat, embeddings and image generation. OpenAI SDK code for Chat Completions and Embeddings works after changing the base URL, the key and, where needed, the model ID; the Responses, Assistants, Audio, Files and Batch APIs are not offered.
Live model catalog
Browse every available model with per-1M-token EGP pricing in the dashboard.
EGP credit balance
Prepaid credits. Top up by card or mobile wallet through Kashier; credit lands automatically once the payment is confirmed.
Sovereign deployment — Egypt-hosted
Design partnersDedicated GPU capacity hosted inside Egypt for regulated workloads. Currently in private design-partner phase.
Egypt-hosted capacity
Dedicated, per-customer deployments inside Egypt for approved design partners, separate from the shared standard route.
Private deployment
Isolated capacity per customer; sized and procured per design-partner contract.
Designed for PDPL
Designed to support Egypt Personal Data Protection Law and sector-specific data-residency rules.
Frequently asked questions.
What is SovereignEG?
SovereignEG is an OpenAI-compatible AI inference platform built for Egypt and the wider MENA region. It provides one API for chat and embedding models with per-million-token pricing in EGP, enterprise controls such as organizations, roles, and spend caps, and a sovereign deployment track hosted in Egypt for regulated workloads.
Is the API OpenAI-compatible?
Yes, for chat completions, embeddings, image generation and model listing. Point the official OpenAI SDK (Python or Node) at the SovereignEG base URL, use your SovereignEG API key and a model id from our catalog, and those calls use the same request and response shapes you already know. The Responses, Assistants, Audio, Files, Batch and fine-tuning APIs, image edits and the legacy Completions endpoint are not offered, so call client.chat.completions rather than client.responses.
Which AI models are available?
The live catalog lists hundreds of hosted models — open-source LLM families such as Llama (Meta), DeepSeek, Qwen (Alibaba), and Mistral alongside frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google — each with EGP pricing (per 1M tokens; image models per image or per image unit), context window, and modality. New models are added without code changes, so check the model library for current availability.
Can my data stay in Egypt?
Egypt-hosted sovereign deployment — dedicated GPU capacity inside Egypt, designed for PDPL and sector data-residency rules — is currently in a private design-partner phase. On the standard route today, models marked "Sovereign · Hosted in Egypt" are served first from our own GPU server in Egypt, and every other model goes to vetted upstream providers, documented in our provider disclosure. Contact us to join the sovereign waitlist.
How do I get an API key?
Sign up and verify your email (a personal organization is created for you), then create a key from the dashboard. Keys support monthly EGP spend caps, rate limits and expiry, and usage is billed pay-as-you-go from a prepaid EGP credit balance.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. You can create an account, browse the model catalog, and read the docs without a credit card. Usage is billed from a prepaid EGP credit balance rather than a card on file, so there are no surprise charges and no international card required.
How do I pay in Egypt and in local currency?
Billing is EGP-native: you top up a prepaid credit balance and usage is deducted per token, or per image or image unit for image models — no foreign-currency invoices or FX spreads. Top up online from your dashboard through Kashier with any Egyptian bank card, including Meeza, or a mobile wallet, and pay entirely in Egyptian pounds.
How much does it cost to get started?
Verify your email, then your mobile number by one-time code, and your personal organization receives a 20 EGP welcome credit, valid for 30 days (one welcome credit per phone number), so you can try models before topping up. After that, pricing is pay-as-you-go in EGP (per million tokens for chat and embedding models), with no monthly minimums and no plan you have to buy, so you only pay for what you use. Developer Packs, when on sale, give you a daily allowance on our own models for a set price; their auto-renew is off unless you turn it on. Every model’s rates are public on the pricing page. Optional monthly EGP spend caps per API key and per project stop new requests once they are reached; a request that is already running is still charged in full, so spend can end up above the cap.
What GPUs power inference in Egypt?
Our Egypt-hosted models run on our own NVIDIA H200 GPU server in Egypt. Models marked "Sovereign · Hosted in Egypt" in the model library are served first from that server on the standard API, open to every account. Dedicated, per-customer capacity inside Egypt is in a private design-partner phase (join the sovereign waitlist), and all other models are served by vetted third-party providers outside Egypt.
Two ways to start.
Developers self-serve. Regulated enterprises talk to us first.
AI access today. Enterprise governance now. Dedicated sovereign hosting next.
