Headquarters evidence
We are a remote-friendly company with headquarters in the centre of Paris.
Zama's own careers site states in running text that the company has its headquarters in the centre of Paris. Explicit headquarters wording bound to the organisation and city.
Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.
Profile note
Explicitly NOT an LLM lab — recorded because it is frequently listed among French AI champions. Zama is a fully homomorphic encryption company (first FHE unicorn) whose Concrete ML toolkit enables encrypted-data ML inference; its commercial product is a confidential blockchain protocol, not a model. Relevant to European AI only as privacy-preserving compute infrastructure.
