Proving my point. Your prompt gets sent through TR, to another provider on the other end.

There are zero guarantees beyond "trust me bro" that the inference provider isn't taking your prompts and selling them to promptbase or one of a dozen other similar services.

Venice claims no logs, which may or may not be true, but what happens to your prompt after they proxy it to the service running the GPUs?

From their website:

"The GPUs that process your inference requests come from multiple decentralized providers, and while each specific provider can see the text of one specific conversation, it never sees your entire history, nor knows your identity."

Which is an absurd claim if your prompt has your company name in it.

It doesn't matter if it is encrypted in transport, once it hits the company running the GPUs, it is open season for them.

Boggles my mind that people are ok with this.

TR is end to end encrypted to the provider, and we offer providers like Tinfoil that are also end to end that we also attested using Secure Enclaves. OpenRouter doesn't provide that guarantee.

This is entirely transparent. TR is also 100% open source.

It'd be nice if you acknowledged the value of this.
