I like to see stats like that, but I find it very concerning that OpenRouter don't mind inspecting its user/customer data without shame.

Even if you pretend that the classifier respect anonymity, if I pay for the inference, I would expect that it would be a closed tube with my privacy respected. If at least it was for "safety" checks, I don't like that but I would almost understand, now it is for them to have "marketing data".

Imagine, and regarding the state of the world it might come soon, that you have whatsapp or telegram that inspect all the messages that you send to give reports like:

- 20% of our users speak about their health issues

- 30% of messages are about annoying coworkers

- 15% are messages comparing dick sizes

They explicitly give you a discount if you opt in to allowing your data to be used for (anonymized) analytics. That’s pretty fair imho.

Cynical take: they could look at everyone and give a discount for optics.

I'd feel a lot better if "OpenRouter" were open source.

		litellm is basically open source version https://www.litellm.ai although the openrouter being a hosted service is kinda the point. Unless the whole industry decides to this over e2ee you cant get any guarantees about an intermediary aggregator

Even better: they send all the data to GoogleTagClassifier, which means now Google had a copy of the sample as well

		Comments such as these are what allows developers to justify ignoring our privacy. "Everyone knows in {{BUSINESS_TYPE}} there is no real privacy". Be it fintech, AI or social media. You give them a free pass with being flippant about companies respecting privacy. Being flippant about anyone being careless about our privacy is doing us as a society and injustice. We should demand privacy, not laugh at the notion of privacy.
