EU alternatives to Anthropic API

The Anthropic API is the integration surface teams build against — tool use, prompt caching, long context, and the Claude model family behind one HTTP contract. LLM Radar flags it conditional because Anthropic operates under US jurisdiction (CLOUD Act, FISA 702) even for EU customers, and the API ships no EU-only region today. These EU-operated APIs cover the same integration needs — see the companion Claude-specific page if your concern is the model rather than the platform.
