This kind-of sort-of already happens now with Big Model / AI release. Rest of the world already gets features & model drops much much before the EU does.

I am honestly interested in any examples you might have, cause I do spend a bit of effort keeping up with whether LLM releases are delayed or lack certain features in EU member states specifically and know no recent example of that.

GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 4 were released across the same time frame (staggered releases that affect users even within regions not withstanding) for EU and US customers.

ChatGPT Agents meanwhile had a three week delay, but that was not EU specific and affected other countries such as Switzerland as well. Previously, I have also seen the very much not EU UK included in such delayed releases.

Essentially, all recent LLM releases I am aware off either dropped simultaneously for EU and US customers or, if they were inaccessible within the EU early on, that generally included none-EU countries with different or no applicable regulation as well. Any example of differences in accessible features I know of hasn't been limited to EU member states.

I think image/video generation models tend to get released later? And some subscription products?

		Just checked, the releases of Dall-E 3, GPTImageGen, Google Veo 2, Imagen 3 and 4, took place simultaneously for EU and US as part of global launches. Sora was the only outlier here, though as always, the restrictions did not encompass just the EU and were lifted shortly there after, just like with ChatGPT Agents: > Right now, users can access Sora everywhere ChatGPT is available, with the exception of the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the European Economic Area. We are working to expand access further in the coming months.
