Enterprise Alternative to Prem AI: Frontier and Open Models, Entra SSO

Why companies look for an alternative to Prem AI

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

Open models only: Prem's model and pricing list covers DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM and Kimi, with no Claude, GPT or Gemini.
No single sign-on published: Prem's documentation index lists passkey and Nostr login, with no SAML or Microsoft Entra sign-in.
Keys and budgets sit at organization level: API keys are issued to the organization instead of to people, and the spending limit is one monthly figure for the organization, capped by usage tier.
Processing locations include the United States: Prem describes owned hardware in Switzerland and rented hardware in Europe and the United States.
Claude Code without zero retention: Prem's Claude Code guide runs Prem's open models behind a launcher and states that zero data retention is not available for Claude Code.

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.

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 Prem AI fits

Prem AI fits a team that wants open models on confidential computing hardware with Swiss data sovereignty, and does not need frontier models or single sign-on.

Moving from Prem AI to Standard Compute

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

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.
Create a key for each person and each application, each with its own monthly budget.
Replace the Prem gateway https://gateway.prem.io and the local proxy at http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1 with https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1, and swap PREM_API_KEY for a Standard Compute key. There is no local proxy to run.
Point Claude Code at https://eu.stdcmpt.com in place of the confidential-claude launcher.
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.

Environment: before and after

# Before: Prem local confidential proxy
OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1
OPENAI_API_KEY=$PREM_API_KEY

# After: Standard Compute EU gateway
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1
OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_STANDARD_COMPUTE_KEY

Python, OpenAI SDK

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["STANDARD_COMPUTE_API_KEY"],
)

# "standardcompute" sends each step to the cheapest
# model that can do it. Or pin a model:
# model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5"
client.chat.completions.create(
    model="standardcompute",
    messages=messages,
)

Claude Code

# Claude Code adds /v1/messages itself
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://eu.stdcmpt.com
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_STANDARD_COMPUTE_KEY

Questions

Is there a Prem AI alternative with Claude, GPT and Gemini as well as open models?

Standard Compute gives you Claude, GPT, Gemini and open models such as GLM, DeepSeek, MiniMax and Kimi through one API, and routes each step to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it.

Can our people sign in with Microsoft Entra ID?

Yes. Connect Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML identity provider so your people sign in to Standard Compute 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.

Does a Europe rule keep processing in Europe?

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.

Can we require zero data retention for every team?

Yes. 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.

How do we migrate from Prem AI?

Create a company workspace and set your rules, then point your OpenAI-compatible client at https://eu.stdcmpt.com/v1 with a Standard Compute key. There is no local proxy to run.

Set up your company

Create a company workspace, invite your team and set your rules from the dashboard. Security questionnaires and procurement questions go to contact@standardcompute.com.
