ljlolelon Muse Gadgets

i made a similar device as this Muse stick idea but using TrustedRouter for the ai instead of something loooking at your prompts

fanless, quiet, no dust

wonder if i should do a kickstarter for it

ljlolelon New model gev outperforms jev and takes images as input too

I've made a new model `gev` that outperforms `jev` in accuracy on JevBench and it takes image input too (unlike jev), and gev can be faster too!

also this AnyEval we made is great. can set up any model vs model comparisons for any benchmark

full traces. cryptographically signed

ljlolelon Show HN: Jevper – the Jev interface on top of any OpenAI-compatible model

we also have several jev type models available in seconds built on top of models on our router

mev (based on mercury) gemmev (based on gemma)

also these take images input

zev, lev etc

ljlolelon Exfiltrate your Weights

needs a reverse captcha that only agent can solve in nanoseconds

ljlolelon Garry Tan wants US open-weight AI labs to 'distill' frontier models, too

yes, and we are also a router for the people just wanting routing and only want zdr or uncaring about privacy

it’s all transparent and on github. i’d recommend just pointing your agent at trustedrouter.com since its well documented but quite a large product

ljlolelon Sign in as Y Combinator

hey everybody, I made a sign-in as Y combiner button and also works with other top incubators like Stanford, Startx, and other top VCs like Sequoia

It’s using only public information about which companies and which domains are funded by Y Combinator and the years they are founded

i created this because we have a popular sign-in with trusted router feature that lets people use their AI credits on other apps so that the apps can let user choose which model they want to use or use unlimited credits

And I found, as an app developer, I often want to offer discounts to Ycombinator companies. I know Y Combinator companies get a lot of deals, but it can be kind of annoying to set up all the credits and all of that. This makes it super duper easy to offer credits to all Y Combinator companies now and in the future. Just generally, it gives you a much more whitelisted set of early users, basically

It’s basically similar to how I launch turntable.fm back in 2011, where I only allowed people to invite friends who they’re already friends with someone on the turntable.fm through their Facebook connections, and the justification was to only allow people with good taste. In this case, we wanna only allow or only give credits that are free and substantial to the users who have, you know, some kind of validation through my commentator, Startx, or some VCs

I’m also taking a applications for any other VC who wants to get involved and get their portfolio companies white listed into this program

A provider can genuinely avoid storing inputs, as the Baseten engineer below describes. That is still different from proving what code received the prompt or protecting plaintext while it runs; I built TrustedRouter to separate ZDR, attestation, and confidential routes: https://trustedrouter.com/blog/attestation-is-all-you-need?u...

the point isn’t scraping it’s taking your data and enterprises data

they pay for some data but they take all of the stuff you’re throwing in too; that’s why i propose forcing it since they’re already used to paying for data just increase the cost even further

These are all on my router TrustedRouter, and more providers coming. Tinfoil has some newer ones too like GLM 5.3 now.

ljlolelon AI startup TrustedRouter raises $1.25M

https://www.axios.com/2026/08/31/exclusive-ai-startup-truste...

hey everybody, I started trustedrouter.com, which is a really simple way to use AI without needing to give your data to a third party like a close source router

It’s been really fun to build this because I got to know the CEOs and founders of so many different providers. We now have more providers than open router and more models as well. More on that soon

We are doing a lot of innovations in security and skills that advise you on which LLM to use and also we created a new site called anyeval.com that I expect to be a critical part of the open-source infrastructure for AI on the Internet. Other companies like AAII postbenchmarks, but you’d have no idea about what they’re really doing and how they’re really measuring, and they have a ton of gaps about which models they’re doing their tests on because it’s so expensive. The idea behind any eval is so that you can pay the few pennies it costs to run an individual problem in an eval, and then as a together as a collective, we can crowdsource paying for a whole eval for any model that we want, or you can just pay for a random sample of the problems to get a an and some Arab artists on what you think that the quality of that model is. You can do head-to-head comparisons. You can also create whole new evals.

For example, I created this new eval called honey pot bench or honey bench, which recreates the some of the facts of the hugging face incident to measure whether a particular AI is prone to wanting to escape, and I found that Fable in particular, unlike the other Claude’s, is very unaligned in comparison

I also created freedom bench, which measures the amount of censorship related to Chinese censorship that a model has, and found that it’s mostly the provider level monitor provided at the providers in China, but not the US providers that does the censitions. I don’t see as much censorship in the model weights

ljlolelon GLM-5.3 is now open-weight

updated the pricing page link to the models page, and added search

we are doing billions of tokens a day and thousands of users

ljlolelon GLM-5.3 is now open-weight

thanks for the feedback, didn't realize people looked there instead of just asking their agents these days. I updated that page

on my TrustedRouter:

z-ai/glm-5.3: also Z.ai, Novita, Atlas Cloud, IO.NET

ljlolelon OpenRouter Is Having Issues

OpenRouter runs on one cloud, that's why we built TrustedRouter to be on Azure, AWS, and GCP with independent clouds, so that you can easily be confident that there is always a fallback even if a whole cloud (or two!) goes down;

so we also stagger releases so that they are on different commits. Uncorrelated failures. it's super easy to onboard and get a new api key. One line change.

ljlolelon Ask HN: Would you pay for an AI API that guarantees zero prompt retention?

My router provides that! TrustedRouter.com we have many end to end encrypted models, and providers including Tinfoil but also others

Importantly i have confidential compute so you can verify the end to end process of not logging the data -- at all.

what holes?

ljlolelon Ox Alpha

depends on if they want to capture any of the US market (seems like they do)

ljlolelon Ox Alpha

The serving endpoint can censor. At TrustedRouter we ran the same GLM-4.7 weights on both hosts: Cerebras answered all 60 FreedomBench questions; one Z.ai endpoint went blank on 27.
