LLM traces are supposedly very valuable. I imagine OpenRouter has one of the most extensive and diverse set of traces in the world.

openrouter prompt and i/o logging is off by default https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/privacy/data-collection

the providers you route to will of course have their own policies, which openrouter surfaces to you through the webui and api. you can even configure automatic routing to select providers based on your policy preferences.

Oh that's very interesting. Thanks for the link.

If your data is leaking to OpenRouter, how many companies would be OK with that? So I doubt OpenRouter are peeking inside the workloads that flow through their proxy. However, they do publish "Top Models by Task" ranking[1] so maybe you have a point.

[1] https://openrouter.ai/rankings#task-spend

The top models by task is self reported. It’s based on the referrer header or some custom one I forget at this moment.

If you don’t include that it just doesn’t count those tokens.

when you use a closed source router you don’t know what it’s doing.

that's why my site TrustedRouter is hosted and end to end encrypted and you can actually see what it’s doing.

If they don’t loudly promise to not scan or store requests they handle then I believe they already do it, or will.

> how many companies would be OK with that?

That ship sailed long ago when you sold your soul to Claude.

It's an opt in feature in openrouter to get a 1% discount.
