See the billing overview for how each option affects pricing.
Both options apply to Clark only. AI features in deployed apps use the provider you set in App AI.
Superblocks Inference Gateway
By default, Clark sends model requests to the Superblocks Inference Gateway.- Outbound only: Your Cloud-Prem account connects out to the gateway. The gateway doesn’t connect into your account.
- Encrypted and signed: Every request is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher and signed with short-lived AWS credentials.
- Restricted access: The gateway filters traffic from known malicious sources and accepts requests only from identities that Superblocks has authorized.
- Zero data retention: Neither the gateway nor the model providers behind it retain prompts or responses. Models are currently served through AWS.
- No prompt or response logging: The gateway doesn’t log prompts or responses.
- Chat history stays in your account: The requests and responses that power your Clark chat history are stored in your Cloud-Prem account.
Amazon Bedrock
Run Clark’s inference on Amazon Bedrock in your own AWS account instead of the gateway. Choose Bedrock when:- Inference must stay in your AWS account. Prompts and responses never leave your account for inference.
- You want inference to count toward your AWS commitment. Tokens are billed by AWS and reduce Clark GAU usage.
