AFAIK, when you use DeepSeek via OpenRouter, it still does not have zero data retention.

See here:

I have ZDR enforced and see only compatible models and providers, yet am able to use it. DeepSeek as a provider may not be ZDR, but the models are available from ZDR and no training providers on EU/US servers.

DeepInfra does and it's the same price. That's what I use.

DeepInfra is decent but has a bad history of quantizing models

Yeah, they all do it though. And now that models are being natively trained at FP8/NVFP4, I’m not sure it matters.

Only way you can really know you’re getting the full model is to host it yourself. Every inference provider has every reason to lie and it’s impossible to find out the degree to which they are.

Youre doing something so special you need that?

I've got a toilet cam to install in your bathroom

It’s a pretty common requirement in the enterprise world. If you’re processing data for enterprise customers, it’s a lot easier to retain nothing than to deal with all the compliance issues that arise if you’re retaining data.

Ugh yeah try to get through a DPIA review!
