What is the best alternative to OVHcloud AI Endpoints for companies?

For companies that need Claude and GPT next to open models, with budgets per key, provider allow-lists and an audit log, Standard Compute is a managed alternative with a Europe rule for the company, a team or a key.

Does OVHcloud AI Endpoints offer Claude or GPT?

No. OVHcloud AI Endpoints lists open-weight models such as gpt-oss, Llama, Qwen and Mistral Small. Standard Compute offers Claude, GPT and Gemini alongside open models through one API.

Does Standard Compute train on our data?

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

Does it work with Microsoft Entra ID?

Yes. The dashboard takes Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML identity provider, and employees sign in to Claude Desktop and Claude Code with their Microsoft work account, with access following your Entra groups through SCIM.

Enterprise alternative to OVHcloud AI Endpoints

Standard Compute is the enterprise alternative to OVHcloud AI Endpoints for companies that want Claude, GPT and Gemini next to open models, under European processing rules. It routes each step to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it, with a fixed budget for every person and app, provider and model allow-lists, Microsoft Entra sign-in and an audit log.

OVHcloud AI Endpoints serves open-weight models such as gpt-oss, Llama and Qwen from the European Union, with no prompt retention. Companies look further when their teams need frontier models, hard spend limits per key or a record of every request.

Models	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: Open-weight models only: gpt-oss, Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen, Mistral Small. No Claude, GPT or Gemini.	Standard Compute: Claude, GPT, Gemini and open models such as GLM, DeepSeek and MiniMax through one API.
Routing	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: Virtual models pick a model from a family by a ranker such as cheapest or fastest, for example `gpt-oss@cheapest`. Fallback to another provider: not stated.	Standard Compute: Each step goes to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it.
Processing location	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: Hosted and run in the European Union.	Standard Compute: A Europe rule for the company, a team or a key. Every request, including retries and fallbacks, is served only by approved European inference endpoints, and is refused before sending if none qualifies.
Retention and training	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: Never used to train models; only billing data is kept.	Standard Compute: We never train on your prompts or outputs. Zero data retention can be required for the company, a team or a key, and lower levels can't switch it off.
Single sign-on	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: SAML SSO for the OVHcloud account, Microsoft Entra ID included.	Standard Compute: Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML provider for the dashboard. Claude Desktop and Claude Code sign-in with a Microsoft work account, with access following Entra groups through SCIM.
Budgets	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: An email alert on forecast spend per project. Budgets or hard caps per key or person: not stated.	Standard Compute: A fixed monthly budget for every person and every app key that never overruns, plus spending caps per key and for the whole company.
Allow-lists	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: Keys per project with a name, description and optional expiry. Model allow-lists per key: not stated.	Standard Compute: Provider allow-lists for the company, a team or a key, where new providers need an admin's approval. Models chosen per key.
Audit log	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: IAM access-policy logs can be forwarded to Logs Data Platform. Coverage of AI Endpoints requests: not stated.	Standard Compute: An admin audit log with before and after values, and an export of every request with model, serving provider and region rule, kept for 12 months.
Claude Code and agents	OVHcloud AI Endpoints: OpenAI-compatible API. Anthropic Messages API: not stated.	Standard Compute: Claude Code and Claude Desktop connect to the gateway with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`; OpenAI-compatible tools use `https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1`.

What changes with Standard Compute

Frontier and open models, each step at the lowest cost

A classification step does not need the model that writes your contract summary, and on Standard Compute it is not billed like one: the router picks the model per step, then the provider per model.

Run leading open models, including GLM, DeepSeek and MiniMax, alongside Claude, GPT and Gemini, so a team that uses OVHcloud for open models today keeps them and adds the frontier models on the same key.

Budgets that stop, per person and app

OVHcloud alerts on forecast spend for a project. On Standard Compute every person and app gets its own key with a fixed monthly budget that never overruns, and you can set spending caps per key and for the whole company.

Security and control

Our EU gateway terminates TLS and runs in Finland, and your account data is stored in Frankfurt. Zero data retention and the Europe rule are set once for the company; teams and keys inherit them and can never switch them off underneath you.

Lower levels can only narrow a provider list, and fallbacks can never route around it. Sign our Data Processing Agreement in the dashboard, and see every sub-processor we use, with 14 days' notice before a new one is added.

When each option fits

When OVHcloud AI Endpoints fits

Open-weight models cover your use cases, your infrastructure already runs on OVHcloud, and your policy prefers a European cloud provider with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and HDS listed for the service.

When Standard Compute fits

Your teams need Claude, GPT or Gemini for the hard steps and open models for the rest, developers run Claude Code and agents, and IT wants budgets per person and app, provider allow-lists and a request export.

Using both

Keep OVHcloud for workloads that must stay on OVHcloud, and run frontier models and coding agents through Standard Compute with a Europe rule.
