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. Conversation history is stored on the user's device, and on the remote host for [SSH remote sessions](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/ssh-remote-sessions.md).

7You get the full Claude Desktop experience (Chat, Cowork, and Code, including file creation, multi-step research, and sub-agent coordination) with inference and billing handled by the provider you choose. You can also turn on [Unified Claude](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/unified-claude.md), which combines Chat and Cowork into one experience.
