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

1 points by mhrnik ↗ HN
i am just tired of looking for a reliable open-source model AI API with ZDR and don't even save my prompts. I'm thinking of a service for people like me who want to use it.

idea is a simple OpenAI-compatible API:

Access to open-weight models

zero retention of prompts and completions

no training on data

only retain metadata required for billing and operations: request ID, model, input/output token counts, latency, timestamp, etc.

no request/response in logs

Just here to check interest. I am not 100% sure if I can get compute to do it or not (may be i can just try with my 5090 first with a small model), but I just want to check and talk with people rather than just thinking in my head.

Openrouter offers that already on a few models

Specifically, you can set an account setting "only do ZDR" and it will error if you try to use an endpoint that doesn't do it.

Tried and not reliable.

last day only I visited to try qwen3.8-max, and there is only one provider alibaba and personally I don't prefer them.

Tinfoil etc offer TEE inference that works well, directly or via API routers.
