A third option for companies

Cost per step
Each step goes to the cheapest model that can do it and the cheapest provider fast enough to serve it.
Models
Claude, GPT and Gemini alongside open models such as GLM, DeepSeek, MiniMax and Kimi, through one API.
Processing in Europe
A Europe rule per company, team or key: every request, including retries and fallbacks, is served only by approved European inference endpoints, or refused before your prompt is sent.
Zero data retention
Required per company, team or key, and Standard Compute never trains on your prompts or outputs.
Single sign-on
Microsoft Entra ID or any SAML provider, and Claude Desktop and Claude Code sign-in with a Microsoft work account.
Budgets
A fixed monthly budget per person and app that never overruns, and spending caps per key and for the whole company.
Allow-lists
Approved providers per company, team or key, and approved models per key. Fallbacks never route around them.
Audit log
Admin changes with before and after values, and a 12-month export of every request's model, provider and region rule.
