Isn't openrouter the exact opposite of caring about security and privacy?

I guess you can choose your provider still? But isn't the point that the lowest bidder is doing inference?

You can set privacy requirements and define an allow list. To me the main value prop is that I get one bill for all models and can quickly try new models without signing up anywhere or changing my code. Oh! Also you can pass an array of models and if the first provider is down it automatically falls through to the next provider. More useful than it should be...

That's still ultimately privacy by contract (where you have to trust the inference providers to uphold their end of the deal), rather than privacy by design.

I always setup guard rails so that only zdr providers are used.
