Enterprise alternative to HostYourAI

Standard Compute is the enterprise alternative to HostYourAI for companies that need Claude, GPT and Gemini next to open models, Microsoft Entra sign-in and budgets that stop exactly at the limit. Each step goes to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it, and a Europe rule, zero data retention, teams, allow-lists and an audit log apply to every key.

HostYourAI, from Groningen, runs open models on European GPUs with team routers, budgets and guardrails. Companies look further when their people need frontier models and sign-in with their Microsoft work accounts.

Why companies look for an alternative to HostYourAI

From HostYourAI’s own pricing and documentation, checked 9 November 2026:

  • Open models only: HostYourAI's Anthropic-compatible API page answers "Am I running Claude models then?" with no; the catalog is Kimi, DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen, Llama, Mistral and MiniMax.
  • Google sign-in only: the security page lists optional Google SSO for web login, with no SAML, SCIM or Microsoft Entra.
  • Budgets are a soft limit: the docs say requests already running when the limit is reached still finish.
  • Marketplace GPUs by default: HostYourAI's security page says some default traffic runs on EU machines rented through US-incorporated marketplaces unless Sovereignty Mode is on.
  • Seat price on request: the Teams plan is per seat plus tokens, and the seat price is not published.

What Standard Compute does differently

A single API gives you frontier and open-source models, and it routes each step to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it.

Open models take the routine steps at open-model prices, and Claude, GPT or Gemini take the steps that need them, on the same key and the same bill. You pay a flat monthly plan per person or app, and the budget stops at the limit.

Control is set once for the company:

Processing in Europe

Set a Europe rule for your company, a team or a single key, and every request, including retries and fallbacks, is served only by approved European inference endpoints. If no European endpoint can serve it, the request is refused before your prompt is sent. Our EU gateway terminates TLS and runs in Finland, and your account data is stored in Frankfurt.

Zero data retention

Turn on zero data retention for your company, a team or a key, and every request is routed only to inference endpoints that commit to keeping no copy of your data. Teams and keys inherit the requirement and can never switch it off underneath you.

No training

Standard Compute never trains on your prompts or outputs. With a region rule or zero retention turned on, every request goes only to providers that commit not to train on it.

Single sign-on

Connect Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML identity provider so your people sign in with their work accounts. Employees sign in to Claude Desktop and Claude Code with their Microsoft work account through our EU gateway, and access follows your Entra groups through SCIM provisioning.

Teams and keys

Organize your company into teams, invite colleagues by email, and give every person and every app its own key, all under one company account.

Budgets

Every person and app gets a fixed monthly budget that never overruns, and you can set spending caps per key and for the whole company. Optional top-off from a prepaid company balance keeps critical agents running.

Allow-lists

Choose exactly which inference providers may handle your data, for the whole company, a team or a single key. New providers are never added without an admin's approval, and fallbacks can never route around your list. Decide which models each key can use.

Audit

Every admin change is recorded with before and after values, and you can export a record of every request showing the model, the provider that served it and the region rule in force, kept for 12 months.

Contract

Sign our Data Processing Agreement in the dashboard. It commits us to no training on your data, no retention of your content, and breach notification within 72 hours. We publish every sub-processor and give you 14 days' notice before adding a new one.

When HostYourAI fits

HostYourAI fits a team that wants open models on dedicated European GPUs, with guardrails for personal data and the option to run on its own cluster, and does not need frontier models or Microsoft sign-in.

Moving from HostYourAI to Standard Compute

Standard Compute’s API runs on stdcmpt.com. https://eu.stdcmpt.com is our EU gateway in Finland.

  1. Create a company workspace and set the rules once for the company: a Europe rule, zero data retention, and the providers and models you approve. Teams and keys inherit them.
  2. Create a key for each person and each application, each with its own monthly budget.
  3. Change the base URL from https://hostyourai.com/api/v1 to https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1 and swap the router key for a Standard Compute key. OpenAI-compatible client code stays the same.
  4. Point Claude Code at https://eu.stdcmpt.com in place of https://hostyourai.com, and drop the ANTHROPIC_MODEL override to use Claude models.
  5. Connect Microsoft Entra ID or your SAML identity provider so your people sign in with their work accounts, and set up Claude Desktop and Claude Code sign-in with Microsoft work accounts.

Questions

Is there a HostYourAI alternative with Claude models?

Standard Compute serves Claude, GPT, Gemini and open models such as GLM, DeepSeek, MiniMax and Kimi through one API, and Claude Code and Claude Desktop run on Claude through the same keys.

Do budgets stop at the limit?

Yes. Every person and app gets a fixed monthly budget that never overruns, and you can set spending caps per key and for the whole company.

Can our people sign in with Microsoft work accounts?

Yes. Connect Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML identity provider, and employees sign in to Claude Desktop and Claude Code with their Microsoft work account through our EU gateway.

Does a Europe rule cover every request?

With a Europe rule, every request, including retries and fallbacks, is served only by approved European inference endpoints, and our EU gateway runs in Finland. If no European endpoint can serve it, the request is refused before your prompt is sent.

How do we migrate from HostYourAI?

Create a company workspace and set your rules, then change the base URL from https://hostyourai.com/api/v1 to https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1 and swap the key.
