Full scoring method ↗Setup details
Nous Portal service and its own inference payload handling; third-party model providers and connected accounts have separate terms.
What fits your needs
Nous Portal service and its own inference payload handling; third-party model providers and connected accounts have separate terms.
Where it fits
Use the Portal when you want Nous-hosted tools and model connections in one account.

Tradeoffs to expect
Route and limits
Prompt data may go to third-party model providers; Privacy Mode changes Nous processing but not third-party provider terms.
See the evidence
How to switch
Try it
Create a Portal account, choose a plan and model route, and test Privacy Mode before sharing sensitive prompts.
See the evidence
Practical questions
Before relying on it
Verify selected model/provider terms, Privacy Mode status, plan limits, and any connected-account permissions.
See the evidence
Public docs establish the Nous Portal platform and connected model routes route; they don’t show its request-level physical footprint. The Portal supports plan selection and multiple model/service routes; these give workload choices, but no measured resource savings are reported.
See the evidence
This practices and disclosure grade covers Nous Portal platform and connected model routes. Public product/API documentation establishes how this route operates and the listed user controls, but gives no measured per-request energy, emissions or water. A corporate electricity claim is not allocated to this route.
1 + 1 reporting + 0 electricity + 1 controls = 3/10. This grades documented practices and transparency.
Request-level electricity, emissions, water use, serving utilization and any route-specific clean-power matching are not reported for Nous Portal platform and connected model routes.
- Reporting1/3
- Official documentation describes the Nous Portal platform and connected model routes operating boundary, but does not publish a dated quantitative energy, emissions or water result for this route.
- Electricity sourcing0/3
- The reviewed sources do not map Nous Portal platform and connected model routes to a site-specific electricity mix or time-matched clean-power supply.
- Resource controls1/3
- The Portal supports plan selection and multiple model/service routes; these give workload choices, but no measured resource savings are reported.
Water disclosure
Water reporting has not been assessed for this choice.
Portal requests may be sent to selected third-party models; original model training data and prompt reuse depend on the selected provider and any Privacy Mode setting.
See the evidence
The Portal terms cover Your Data and Service Data, including prompts and outputs, and describe use in model training. They also distinguish third-party provider processing. This doesn’t confirm the training data provenance or permissions of each connected model.
Selected model and provider terms, Privacy Mode state, training data inventory, source permissions, and downstream processor handling remain route-specific.
The privacy policy allows prompts and interaction data to be shared with model and infrastructure providers and used for development and training. Privacy Mode opts out of Nous payload storage and training use subject to security and legal exceptions.
See the evidence
Nous Portal’s current policy allows processing prompts, inputs, outputs, telemetry and trace data for service operation, improvement and model training, including disclosure to third-party model and infrastructure providers. Users can enable Privacy Mode to limit Nous’s own payload storage and training use; provider handling and operational metadata remain outside that control.
Broad prompt-use rights are disclosed, with an account setting to limit Nous processing but provider terms remain route-dependent.
The selected third-party model/provider, their retention terms, and whether Privacy Mode is active for a specific route must be checked per account and feature.
A hosted multi-service portal; it provides access to models and tools but not a self-hostable portal runtime.
See the evidence
Nous Portal presents an integrated hosted service and includes third-party model access. The reviewed terms do not provide a deployable version of the Portal service or control over third-party serving stacks.
Hosted portal with third-party routes; no self-hostable portal implementation in reviewed materials.
Nous model releases and self-hosted inference tools are distinct from the portal service.
No service-specific worker conditions or assurance were established in the sources reviewed.
See the evidence
The reviewed product, API, and policy sources describe the service to users but do not provide service-specific evidence about workers who build or operate it. This is a disclosure gap and does not assert poor conditions.
1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1/10. Documented worker protections; missing disclosure is an evidence gap.
Contractor, data annotation, moderation, and infrastructure worker conditions are not established for this route.
- Pay & conditions0/3
- The reviewed product and service documents do not describe worker conditions for this operating service.
- Worker voice & remedy0/3
- The reviewed service-specific sources do not describe worker voice or remedy for this operating service.
- Evidence & follow-through0/3
- The reviewed sources do not provide independent assurance on labor conditions for this route.
No direct military relationship was established for this product or API in the reviewed sources.
See the evidence
The reviewed terms and service documentation do not identify a direct military customer, contract, or deployment for this route. This records the evidence reviewed and does not treat general cloud access, a model license, or downstream use as evidence of a direct contract.
7 base + 0 safeguard adjustment = 7/10 (0 of 9 safeguard points; every 3 adds 1). No military relationship was established in the cited sources. This ranks above known defense ties without claiming a verified clean record.
Customer contracts and downstream uses may not be public; this assessment is limited to the linked service sources.
- Use restrictions0/4
- The reviewed service sources don’t confirm route-specific military-use restrictions beyond general acceptable-use terms.
- Enforcement & oversight0/3
- The reviewed sources do not describe independent oversight of military-related deployment of this service.
- Relationship disclosure0/2
- No service-specific public reporting on military customers or contracts was identified in the reviewed sources.
The reviewed product and service sources don’t show a direct operational military relationship for this specific route.
Military rubric ↗Nous Research was not named in the BNC guide to priority boycott and pressure targets or the No Tech campaign target list reviewed on 24 October 2026. This is limited to those two lists.
See the evidence
The BNC guide and No Tech campaign page reviewed on 24 October 2026 do not name Nous Research. This status reports only those two named target lists and does not cover every BDS campaign, local group, supplier, investment, or later list change.
Other BDS campaigns and local or partner-led lists may have separate targets; this check does not evaluate broader political or business relationships.
