borderlint KB — AI data residency, sovereignty & model provenance

The hand-curated knowledge base behind borderlint: 92 AI providers and 71 model developers, each resolved to the three questions that govern an AI flow — where do the bytes rest (residency), who can compel disclosure (sovereignty), and whose model weights run (provenance).

The three axes in one example

AWS Bedrock ap-east-1 serving DeepSeek-R1 is residency Hong Kong, sovereignty United States (CLOUD Act reaches a US provider in any region), provenance Mainland China (DeepSeek weights) — three different answers to “where is our AI?”, all correct.
