What is the best alternative to Scaleway Generative APIs for companies?

For companies that need Claude and GPT next to open models, Claude Code without a proxy, 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 Scaleway Generative APIs offer Claude or GPT?

No. Scaleway lists open models such as Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek, GLM and gpt-oss. 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.

EnterpriseAlternatives

Enterprise alternative to Scaleway Generative APIs

Standard Compute is the enterprise alternative to Scaleway Generative APIs 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, and connects Claude Code directly, with a fixed budget for every person and app, provider allow-lists and an audit log.

Scaleway Generative APIs serves open models such as Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek and GLM from a data centre in Paris. Companies look further when their teams need frontier models, hard spend limits, or a record of every serverless request.

Question	Scaleway Generative APIs	Standard Compute
Price model	Scaleway Generative APIs: Pay per token in euros, for example Mistral Small 3.2 at €0.15 / €0.35 per million input and output tokens, with 1 million free tokens.	Standard Compute: A flat monthly plan per person or app key, with a fixed budget that never overruns, and Stripe invoices with your company name and VAT number. Plans are on pricing.
Models	Scaleway Generative APIs: Open models: Qwen, Gemma, Mistral, Devstral, DeepSeek, GLM, gpt-oss, Llama. No Claude, GPT or Gemini.	Standard Compute: Claude, GPT, Gemini and open models such as GLM, DeepSeek and MiniMax through one API.
Routing	Scaleway Generative APIs: One model per request. Routing to a cheaper model or a fallback: 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	Scaleway Generative APIs: Serverless models run in a data centre in Paris.	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	Scaleway Generative APIs: Zero retention by default and no training. Full requests may be kept up to two weeks on misuse or server errors, and anonymised metadata for six months.	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	Scaleway Generative APIs: SAML identity federation for the Scaleway console.	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	Scaleway Generative APIs: Daily or monthly budgets per API key or end user. Billing alerts, with no hard billing threshold.	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	Scaleway Generative APIs: IAM permission sets for model access. Per-model allow-lists: 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	Scaleway Generative APIs: Audit Trail covers dedicated deployments; serverless is not integrated yet.	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	Scaleway Generative APIs: OpenAI-compatible API. Claude Code runs through a third-party local proxy.	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 Scaleway for open models today keeps them and adds the frontier models on the same key.

Claude Code without a proxy

Scaleway's Claude Code guide runs a third-party proxy on each laptop. Standard Compute speaks the Anthropic API itself: set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, and Claude Code and Claude Desktop run on Claude or any approved model under the same budget and rules.

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 Scaleway Generative APIs fits

Open models cover your use cases, you run on Scaleway already, and you want French hosting with daily or monthly budgets per key and dedicated deployments for a model of your own.

When Standard Compute fits

Your teams need Claude, GPT or Gemini as well as open models, developers run Claude Code and agents, and IT wants provider allow-lists, an admin audit log and an export of every request.

Using both

Keep dedicated Scaleway deployments where you need them, and run frontier models and coding agents through Standard Compute with a Europe rule.

Moving from Scaleway Generative APIs

Create a company workspace
Create the company in the dashboard, invite colleagues by email and organize them into teams.
Set the rules once
Set a Europe rule, zero data retention, and the providers and models you approve for the company. Teams and keys inherit them and can only narrow them.
Connect Microsoft Entra ID
Add SAML single sign-on for the dashboard, and set up Claude Desktop and Claude Code sign-in with Microsoft work accounts.
Give every person and app a key
Each key gets its own monthly budget and the models it may use.
Move the traffic
Swap the base URL and key in each app, and point Claude Code at the gateway instead of the local proxy.
