One API, all the LLMs, with a prompt path you can verify
2026-06-14Source context: Joseph Perla original.
Developers want the OpenRouter shape because it removes switching cost. One base URL, many models, fallback when a provider fails, and one ledger for usage. The missing piece is verifiable trust.
TrustedRouter keeps the dashboard and billing surface separate from the attested API gateway. The hosted prompt path is designed so the running code, image digest, and attestation evidence can be checked instead of taken on faith.
What that gives a developer
- Keep the OpenAI SDK and change the base URL.
- Route to hundreds of models across many providers.
- Use trustedrouter/zdr when zero-retention providers matter.
- Use trustedrouter/e2e for confidential provider routes where available.
- Verify the hosted gateway on trust.trustedrouter.com.
The point is not that every upstream model provider becomes confidential by magic. The point is that the router should be honest about where the guarantee starts, where it ends, and which provider route was selected.
