GPT-5.1 + SafePipe
GPT-5.1 is OpenAI's current flagship model, the successor to GPT-5. It features dramatically improved reasoning, multimodal capabilities, and instruction following. Powers ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot services.
Quick Start
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: "sp_your_key",
baseURL: "https://api.safepipe.eu/v1"
});
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-5.1",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "..." }]
});The GDPR Challenge
GPT-5.1 represents OpenAI's most advanced AI system to date. Building on GPT-5's foundation, it delivers enhanced logical reasoning, creative generation, and multimodal understanding (text, images, audio, video). The model excels at complex multi-step tasks, coding, and nuanced conversations. However, all processing occurs through OpenAI's US-based Azure infrastructure, creating significant GDPR compliance challenges for European businesses.
Without SafePipe
- ×All prompts transmitted to US-based Azure servers
- ×Enhanced capabilities process more sensitive data types
- ×Multimodal inputs (images, audio) may contain PII
With SafePipe
- ✓PII redaction before transmission (emails, names, addresses)
- ✓Zero-knowledge logging in Frankfurt data center
- ✓Request/response encryption with AES-256

Use Cases
FAQ
Can GPT-5.1 be used with GDPR data minimization requirements?
OpenAI processes API requests in US data centers, which raises Schrems II concerns. SafePipe provides technical safeguards by redacting PII before data leaves the EU, supporting your GDPR Article 5 (Data Minimization) compliance efforts.
How is GPT-5.1 different from GPT-5?
GPT-5.1 offers improved reasoning, better instruction following, and enhanced multimodal capabilities. From a GDPR perspective, both require SafePipe—the difference is in capability, not privacy.
Can GPT-5.1 process images with personal data?
Yes, but this creates additional privacy risks. SafePipe scans and redacts PII from text before transmission. For image inputs containing personal data, additional precautions are needed.
What's the latency impact of using SafePipe with GPT-5.1?
SafePipe adds less than 30ms to your requests. Our Frankfurt edge servers perform PII detection and redaction in real-time, imperceptible for most applications.
