55Claude Desktop on third-party (3P) is a deployment mode of Claude Desktop that routes all model inference through a provider you configure: Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Foundry, any compatible gateway you operate, or the Anthropic API directly. The app runs from a bundled local web application, and conversation history is stored on the user's device.
