TrustedRouter
An AI routing gateway compatible with OpenAI; changing just one base_url allows access to hundreds of models. It can filter routes based on zero data retention and end-to-end encryption levels. The gateway's source code and deployment configuration are public with build proofs. When no route meets privacy requirements, requests fail directly instead of degrading. Billing is based on vendor costs.

What is TrustedRouter?
TrustedRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI routing gateway. As stated on its official website, it is "the AI router that shows its work": it connects hundreds of models through a single base_url, while turning privacy protection into verifiable constraints rather than just a promise. Compared with common aggregation routers, its difference lies in that it makes the gateway, SDK and deployment configuration public, and binds the online code to the source code through build proofs.
Who is it for?
- Teams handling privileged or sensitive documents, such as litigation materials and medical records, that need to prove to customers that prompts are not persisted.
- Projects already using the OpenAI SDK who want to add privacy constraints and provider fallbacks without modifying business code.
- Cost-sensitive applications that need to run multiple models simultaneously and select the cheapest routing for each task.
- Teams with compliant procurement requirements; the official website provides a list of DPA, BAA, and subprocessors.
- For European teams, you can specify the EU route to keep requests within EU-based suppliers.
Key features
6Single Interface for Multiple Models
Replace the base_url with api.trustedrouter.com/v1 and keep your existing OpenAI-compatible API calls to start using it. The official website states that you can search for 687 models, and migration only requires changing one line of configuration.
Routing by Privacy Level
Each model is labeled with available routes, including ZDR (Zero Data Retention) and E2EE tags; you can add constraints like `min_privacy` in requests to specify which vendors can process your requests.
Build Proofs & Signed Receipts
The official website states that the gateway build can be verified, which can map the source code hash to a specific commit, and provides verified build proofs and signed receipts.
Fail Fast
If no route meets the set minimum privacy threshold, the request is terminated before inference, instead of silently falling back to a weaker route.
Multi-cloud Visible Fallback
Continuously measures the health of vendors and models, publicly discloses latency and availability history, and makes the status page visible to the public.
Cost and Budget Control
The official website states that a 5.5% fee is charged based on the supplier's cost, with no monthly fees or seat fees. You can bring your own supplier keys, and strict budgets limit the quota for each key on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
How to use TrustedRouter
- First claim the 1 million free tokens marked on the official website (the official says no credit card is required), use them to run a regression test on existing calls to ensure the output format and streaming behavior are consistent.
- Explicitly declare the privacyfloor in the request, and write a fallback logic that "the request fails if no route meets the requirements", and do not assume that a fallback is always available.
- Follow the official verification process before going live: read the source code, check the proofs, compare the hashes to the commit, and confirm that the request is indeed closed when it fails.
- Bring your own provider keys to eliminate middlemarkups, but you must monitor bills and quotas on the provider side yourself.
- do not rely solely on the gateway's budget.
- The official website states that payment methods include cards, ACH, PayPal, and cryptocurrency.
- before corporate procurement, please confirm whether DPA and BAA cover your scenario.
