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

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

<p>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: <a href="https://trustedrouter.com/blog/attestation-is-all-you-need?utm_source=hackernews&utm_medium=organic_reply&utm_campaign=openrouter_conversations_202609&utm_content=20260913_hackernews_inference_provider_zdr_terms" rel="nofollow">https://trustedrouter.com/blog/attestation-is-all-you-need?u...</a></p>

<p>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;<p>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.
